Employment Spotlight



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.

Name: Letitia D.

Job: Receptionist at East Missouri Action Agency

Time There: 4 Months

Schedule: Part time around 20 hours a week

Duties: Answer phones, provide people with information about the agency, greet customers, create a comfortable environment, and make sure everyone we see signs in.

Favorite duty: Talking on the phone, I have the gift of gab.

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.

How did Clubhouse help with your current job status? I would say that going to the clubhouse and doing jobs gave me the skills and confidence I needed to make a proper transition
