Getting hired is a major milestone — but keeping the job is where many workforce programs fall short. At CSP, our 90-day retention program is designed to ensure long-term success.
Why 90 Days Matter
Research consistently shows that the first three months of employment are the most critical period for new hires. For New Mainers navigating a new country, culture, and workplace simultaneously, this period can be especially challenging.
What We Provide
- Weekly check-ins with a dedicated employment coach
- Workplace mediation and advocacy when issues arise
- Continued transportation support during the transition
- Communication with employers to address concerns early
- Connection to community resources for ongoing support
Results
Our 90-day retention program has helped achieve a 90% retention rate among participants — well above industry averages. This means more stable families, stronger employers, and a more integrated community.
