Provide graduate case management to promote employment retention, housing stability, and sobriety milestones.
Conduct retention outreach for one year post-graduation and verify employment and housing documentation in CTDB.
Maintain up-to-date graduate data and ensure consistent engagement through alumni communication and follow-up.
Data Systems & Documentation
Accurately document client interactions, case notes, and outcomes in CTDB.
Maintain up-to-date trackers for job search appointments, graduate services, and retention milestones.
Support data integrity and assist with report preparation for leadership and funders.

All new Workforce Development Specialists participate in a structured onboarding program designed to build knowledge, confidence, and independence. Training includes an overview of the RWA program, observation of Career Essentials classes and Career Club sessions, job readiness facilitation practice, case documentation in the client tracking database (CTDB) system, and retention outreach procedures.
The Doe Fund also partners with outside organizations to provide continuous professional development opportunities that strengthen facilitation skills, workforce best practices, and participant engagement strategies.
