Training at Genesis Club
The training enables colleagues to immerse themselves in the clubhouse community. The time will give colleagues a solid background in the basic clubhouse mechanics. How does a work unit run? What is the philosophy of a clubhouse? Staff/member relations. What is transitional employment and how does it work? This will be accomplished through the training curriculum that has been developed by the International Center for Clubhouse Development, over the past ten years.
The curriculum includes participation in Genesis work units, an opportunity to become involved in the transitional employment program, developing a clubhouse housing component, and ample time to discuss clubhouse ideas and issues.
A site-visit to a nearby clubhouse will be included to enable colleagues to see different clubhouse scenarios. We also provide a series of readings that complement the colleagues day to day clubhouse experience. Even more importantly, however, a two or three week long session truly allows colleagues to develop relationships with the staff and members of Genesis Club. These relationships are the heart of any quality clubhouse. They can not be taught, they must be experienced.
