Employee Development
The Employee Development Program at Wing serves individuals who benefit from a real work experience in a supported setting as an internship program. The program provides paid work experiences at our office and through remote virtual meetings in fields such as clerical, reception, customer service, food service and janitorial which last up to 90 days. Our participants can be scheduled up to 20 hours per week. Participants are assigned a Employment Support Case Manager, who provides job support and assessment throughout their progress in the program.
Our Program assists participants in preparing them to enter the workforce by utilizing real work activity to aid them in the following areas:
Understanding the meaning, value and demands of work.
Learning or re-establishing skills, attitudes, personal characteristics and work behavior.
Developing appropriate work attitudes and habits by increasing interpersonal skills.
Working closely with treatment providers to identify and address psychiatric symptoms that may affect employment.
