We have a good relationship with Prime Time House and the employment specialists reach out to me when they have members interested in joining our team. They also assist us by providing job coaching if the clients need extra training. This saves us from retraining an employee who is struggling.

We believe all individuals deserve the same unlimited opportunities to access the world of employment. Holding a meaningful job is a critical component to recovery. It not only provides a paycheck, but also a sense of purpose, the chance to be part of the community, and opportunities for growth.
Our Employment Specialists assist participants through every step of the employment process, including identifying career opportunities, writing resumes, practicing interviews, and developing skills to maintain meaningful employment in the community.
We help employers by:
- CATER TO YOUR NEEDS. Our Employment Specialists suggest pre-screened candidates that match your required skills.
- CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT. At no cost, we can provide extra training and support to your new employee.
- REDUCE TURNOVER. All candidates we recommend are motivated, trustworthy, and ready to work.
- SAVE MONEY. You may qualify for tax benefits by hiring our candidates.
We help job seekers by:
- ASSISTANCE FINDING A JOB. If you are ready to get back into the workforce, we’re ready to help with everything from resume writing to job applications to mock interviews.

- CONNECTIONS TO EMPLOYERS. We have knowledge about jobs available in the community. If you wish, we can advocate on your behalf with employers. If you’d rather employers not know you are receiving support, we will honor that wish as well.

Helping You Succeed
I appreciate Prime Time House because my Employment Specialist helped me get this job. She provided job coaching so I was able to complete my job successfully. I had a couple of other jobs that didn’t last long, but with Karen’s help, I’m almost at my one-year anniversary working for Walmart!
