Transition to Work (TTW) project

The goal of TTW is to help clients enter the work world. One of the ways that it does this is by placing clients on work experience placements with employers.

Job Coaches are provided (at no expense to the employer) to assist clients with on-the-job training and give any additional support required.

Questions employers frequently ask about hosting TTW participants on work experience placement

Who pays the participants’ wages?
Flowercart pays wages through the TTW project. TTW workers are Flowercart employees and are paid minimum wage for each hour of work while on work experience.

How many hours may the participant work?
Up to eight hours a day: five days a week. Hours are flexible to match the employer’s and participant’s needs. Participants can be available for shifts outside the normal 9 am to 5 pm workday.

What days of the week are participants available to work?
Any day!

Whose insurance covers the participant while they are on work placement?
For the entire placement each participant is covered by Flowercart’s Commercial General Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation. A certificate of insurance and clearance letter can be issued if requested.

What if an employer wants to hire a Transition to Work participant?
An employer who is hosting a work placement can decide at any time to offer the participant a job. The process would be the same as hiring anyone else. Once hired, the person would be covered by the employer’s insurance.
