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:

1.  Employees You Can Count On 

 Redwood’s team of professionals works with you to find the best candidate for the position. Then trainers help the employee develop job-specific skills. The training process continues into the first few weeks of employment to ensure satisfaction with your new employee.

2.  Support From Start to Finish

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.

3.  Benefits to Your Business

You may also be entitled to take advantage of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit offered by the federal government to businesses who hire employees with disabilities. If you have questions about this program, Redwood staff can offer more information.

4.  Environmental Support

In some cases, reasonable accommodations or minor worksite modifications are needed to maximize an employee’s performance and abilities. Our program staff will assist in planning and easily implementing accomidations in a manner beneficial to both the business and employee.

5.  Long-Term Support Assures Long Term Success

 As needs of employers change, those of employees do too. Redwood is continually an active supporter of our client’s success on the job and in their lives.
