Our Employee Training Procedure
Reach For Your Potential, Inc. follows a formal hiring process. Prospective employees should complete an application and schedule an interview if appropriate. Direct care staff are trained at orientation and with the individuals with whom they will be working. They are trained by the Service Coordinator or Residential Facilitator on member-specific needs. New staff work at least three training shifts before working on their own. All staff trainings are documented and tracked to ensure staff have been appropriately and efficiently trained on the needs of the members.
