We have several Transitional Employment (TE) placements available to help people get back in the work force. These temporary jobs last 6 months and are part time. Members can use these skills to get jobs outside of the clubhouse. Recently Letitia D. got a job as a receptionist at East Missouri Action Agency in Desloge, Missouri. It isn’t a TE job, but her attendance at the Clubhouse helped her get the position. Here is an interview with Letitia to shine some light on her responsibilities and how she is enjoying it. If you have any questions about open TE positions or want help getting a job outside of the clubhouse, don't hesitate to contact the Clubhouse or check the bulletin board.

What is your opinion about it so far? It’s a wonderful job and by far the nicest job I have ever had! All of my co-workers are supportive and the hours are perfect for my schedule.
