Employment Services

Redwood’s Employment Services program is a unique partnership between Redwood and community businesses. The goal of the program is to help adults with disabilities become more productive members of the community, while helping businesses find dependable, well-trained employees.

Redwood’s professional staff offers comprehensive training and support, at no cost to the business, to ensure employees from Redwood become a valuable member of the company’s existing team. Beyond the training and placement process, Redwood’s job coach visits the business periodically to monitor the progress of the new employee to ensure the business is getting the expected results.

Top 5 Reasons to Select Redwood:

Redwood’s job coaches offer innovative training techniques, client support, adaptive devices (if necessary), and cross training as your business needs develop. Long-term support is provided throughout the entire employment period.
