Transitional Employment
Program activities:

Project Place runs three social enterprises that couple on-the-job training with wraparound case management and employment services to ensure clients cultivate the tools, confidence, and resources to obtain and succeed in employment.

Transitional employment includes hands-on experience in one of our enterprises, preparing clients for a variety of positions in popular industries in Boston including modern logistic and facilities maintenance. Trainees work 20-40-hour weeks, making $15 per hour. Meanwhile, each client will continue to receive case management services as they work to address any personal barriers to employment. This includes services like crisis management, documentation obtainment, one-on-one weekly case management meetings, etc. Case managers also refer out to services such as mental and physical health treatment, substance use recovery, emergency housing, legal services, etc.

Clean Corners…Bright Hopes (CCBH) is a facilities maintenance and landscaping enterprise that provides beautification, exterior property and facility maintenance services to buildings and neighborhoods throughout the Boston area through fee- for-service contracts. CCBH trainees learn proper cleaning techniques, as well as reinforce safety techniques and application while obtaining their OSHA10 in the classroom. Clients who participate in this program graduate with skills that transfer directly to a variety of industries. It is a useful enterprise for those looking for custodial services, facilities maintenance, and waste management.

The Logistics Enterprise Apprenticeship Program (LEAP) is a social enterprise business that provides vending and delivery services throughout Greater Boston, preparing individuals for a career in logistics, transportation and warehousing. LEAP trainees learn modern day logistics with Par Level Software with classroom training paired with on-the-job applications. LEAP trainees also work toward their OSHA10 in the classroom to learn proper safety.
