Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, will begin offering paid, on-the-job training for local residents who would like to start a human service career in working with people with disabilities. The program is being launched because the nonprofit constantly hears about people who would like to work in direct care but are told they aren’t suitable because they don’t have the needed experience. • The Gesher Direct Support Professional Apprenticeship program will provide unemployed and underemployed individuals with on-the-job training and 155 hours related technical instruction to earn a nationally recognized Journeyperson Direct Support Specialist Credential. Apprentices will be matched with a journeyperson at Gesher who will provide training, support and mentoring to the apprentice.
Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, will be holding a hiring blitz for approximately 50 direct care workers providing support and training to individuals with disabilities in residential group homes, the community and businesses.
The event on Tues. Jan. 16, from noon to 5 p.m., will be held at the nonprofit organization’s Arnold E. Frank Building (4250 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201); employment positions will be available in Oakland and Wayne Counties. Positions will include house managers and residential direct support professionals who will assist those living in supportive housing in the community due to mental illness or other disabilities.
