Program Activities
All young adults at UTEC begin in Transformational Beginnings, which operates in one industry-specific area (Mattress Recycling) according to the schedule outlined below.
Phase I: Participants meet with intake specialist Transitional Coaches for essential job readiness steps, including personal documentation, benefits coordination, and bank account setup. They also study and test for their OSHA 10-hour certification during this period. This is a maximum of 4 weeks for SNAP purposes.
Phase II: The Transformational Beginnings vocational training phase focuses on basic work skills and safety requirements. Participants must demonstrate consistent attendance and receive qualifying scores on performance reviews administered by the TB program manager. Participants progress at their own pace before advancing to the next level of workforce development.
