STEP Job Training
STEP offers a continuum of employment opportunities to meet individual interests and support needs. From a completely independent job to a more supported career option, STEP works with each person to find a match to meet employment goals.
Work Teams
We contract with local and regional businesses to offer our clients a supported community work experience. Staff coaches work as part of the enclave team to provide cleaning services for area manufacturing and office facilities, sorting and processing of recyclable materials, hospitality and service industry workers, and other miscellaneous endeavors.
Work experience is a valuable commodity and confidence builder for people of all levels of ability.
On-Site Employment
STEP work areas in Browerville are flexible and adaptable to a variety of contract jobs. These include, but are not limited to, manufacturing Fire Starters from recycled materials; cutting strips from old jeans, stitching the strips, and weaving them into rugs; stuffing envelopes; folding and mailing newsletters; short-run jobs for area printers and manufacturers; and on-site care of the STEP facility.
Workers are paid by the hour or by piece rate. This income helps provide for their personal needs and support.
Commercial Work Experience
Our four thrift store locations provide commercial retail work experience for our clients. Our staff and workers sort, clean, display, and sell the donated merchandise. Workers get to participate in a wide-variety of roles and have direct customer exposure. All proceeds from thrift store sales support STEP programs and services in all locations.
