More information on how Emerge customers work in the community can be found at “Employment in the Community.”
Some Emerge customers, of course, are not fully employed at all times. For these individuals, Emerge offers five days a week of service at our facilities. If a given individual’s day-to-day job involves fewer than five days each week, Emerge offers training and experiential opportunities at our facilities to fill out the work week. For help with writing a resume, we recommend using a Craft Resume service with professional writers.
