ISE (Individual Supported Employment)-- A member is hired at a business with a competitive wage. The Hive provides on the job training and support to the member.
ESA (Employment Support Aide)-- A Hive staff member who is hired to provide one-on-one support to a member for them to retain their employment.
TTE provides instruction to members that supports their gainful employment into the community. The Hive utilizes a comprehensive curriculum that covers:
How to find a job
How to stay employed
How to avoid irritating your coworkers
How to get a promotion
How to build positive relationships
How to stay safe on the job
By completing this training members will be better prepared for employment opportunities and have the knowledge that they need to start applying for jobs. Our curriculum uses the James Stanfield series, JobSmart, video modeling of what an employee should and should not do through video models. In addition, the Hive has enhanced the videos by creating a supplemental workbook of activities and practice simulations for members to reinforce their learning.
