Returnships are intended for adults who already have work experience and are interested in a trial period which will lead to a permanent role in the workforce. The A4TD team will connect directly with individuals after they apply for the program! Program participants receive assessments and career counseling that help them identify their transferrable skills, job goals, and training needs.
A4TD works with employers to develop opportunities for returnships that attract high caliber talent, and match employers and participants together! A4TD staff help with logistics for each returnship, which is customized to suit the participant / employer pair. Returnships are approximately three weeks in length with a paid stipend provided by A4TD. Neither the employer, nor the participant are required to commit to placement after the returnship, though it is intended that each match results in a fulfilling employment opportunity!
