In a team environment, you work collaboratively with colleagues, community, and clients to mobilize client’s personal resources toward self-sufficiency, using appropriate supporting interventions. You will also facilitate access to training, along with development of training/workshops with external service providers; all of which enable the movement of clients into employment.
