Intake

The Intake process is administered by our Intake Coordinator. The purpose of this is to identify the client name, contact information and source of income. Upon arrival at Oasis the client will be asked to fill out our registration form and sign a consent to release information page. From there, an appointment will be set up to meet the Employment Counselor.

Assessment/Action Plan

The Assessment will be held by a certified Career & Employment Counselor. A brief overview of the services we provide will be explained where a mutual decision can be made, weather or not Oasis would be a good fit. Client and counselor will discuss specific employment barriers such as housing, food/clothing, transportation, family care and health. If both parties are satisfied with the outcome the second part “Action Plan” will be developed.

The Action Plan is based on two criteria — a short term goal and a long term goal. Both counselor and client will discuss education and training, employment history and skills relevant to the clients goals. The counselor will introduce, discuss and arrange a schedule for the Employment Preparation Workshops.
