<p>Workforce Development for People in Recovery VISTA</p> <p>The Schreiber Research Group (TSRG) is a Colorado-based nonprofit comprised of public health, public policy, nursing, data science, economics, and project management experts. TSRG is a research-driven organization working to find solutions and fill knowledge gaps in response to the substance use crisis. Through vigorous research and community engagement, the project team discovered the need for a workforce center that could synthesize these resources and provide one-on-one career counseling services. The AmeriCorps Member will serve an essential role in developing and implementing a program plan for this workforce center. In 2023, TSRG performed a market analysis of resources in Southeastern Colorado for people in recovery from a substance use disorder (SUD) who are attempting to reenter the workforce. Through this investigation, the project team discovered the need for a workforce center.
