Employment Readiness
Because Recovery Without Income Isn’t Sustainable
Who This Program Is For
Adults completing substance use treatment or reentry programs
Clients with little or no prior job experience
Individuals facing employment discrimination due to justice involvement or gaps in work history
Youth and young adults aging out of adolescent programs
Clients who feel “unhirable” — and need help believing otherwise
Anyone who wants to support themselves and take the next step in recovery
Why Employment Support Matters in Recovery
You can’t focus on growth when your lights are off.
You can’t plan a future if you’re living in fear of losing your housing or transportation.
What the Program Includes
Career & Goal Mapping
What do you want? What are you good at? We help clients explore opportunities that align with their strengths and situation.
Resume Building
Create a professional, clear résumé that highlights experience — even if it’s unconventional.
Mock Interviews
Practice real-world interviews with feedback that builds confidence and professionalism.
Application Assistance
Help filling out online or paper applications, avoiding common mistakes, and following up properly.
Soft Skills Training
Teach punctuality, communication, dress code, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Workforce Navigation
Understanding job benefits, taxes, pay schedules, transportation planning, and how to ask for help without fear.
Employer Partnerships
We connect clients with local businesses, training programs, and transitional jobs that are recovery- and reentry-friendly.
Why ITG’s Approach Works
We Meet People Where They Are
Whether you’ve never had a job or left a career years ago, we adapt to your level without judgment.
We Address the Barriers Others Ignore
Transportation, background checks, trauma triggers, low literacy, or mental health — we help clients face what’s in the way.
We Integrate With Your Treatment or Reentry Plan
Employment readiness is not separate from recovery — it’s a vital part of it. We coordinate across services to support every step.
We Inspire Confidence, Not Fear
Our clients leave with a résumé — but also with their shoulders back, their head up, and a sense that they belong in the room.
