Subsidized Employment
The program matched job seekers with non-profit, public and for-profits employers, providing the employer with an opportunity to enhance their mission, service delivery and business, while giving someone an opportunity to work and improve their skills and current work history. The program paid up to 100% of the employee’s gross wages for one to six months. The program focused on developing employment opportunities in the emerging Green Jobs market as well as traditional employment opportunities. Employment matches were made according to a person’s individual placement plan based on their career goals, transferable skills and past work history. We are extremely proud of the program and grateful to have been able to take part in a program that so completely benefited both our local community and participants.
