REFERRING
AGENCIES
As a staffing agency with a mission to support individuals in recovery, the associates that our partner agencies refer to us get more than just a job: they get a second chance to reach their goals, support their families, and give back to their communities.
To refer to Working Fields, send an email to secondchances@workingfields.com with the prospective candidate’s name, phone number, and email (optional). Phone referrals may be made by calling our main number, (802) 348-4610, and following the menu instructions.”

ALL OF OUR ASSOCIATES ARE:
Welcomed by trained Peer Coaches, many who are in long-term recovery themselves
Evaluated for the right fit in a job placement, both for skill set and progress in recovery
Matched with supportive resources to support a successful placement and their ongoing recovery
Helped to develop realistic, attainable goals and supported to achieve them
Held accountable in their recovery through weekly meetings and check-ins
Cheered on by a fierce advocate
For those in recovery, our extensive screening process and ongoing support—using strength-based Peer Coaching skills and techniques—increases their chances of success. Peer Coaching enables us to support many aspects of their recovery throughout their placement with an employee partner, because we know that employment is just one piece of the puzzle.

OUR SUCCESS RATE
We like to say that Working Fields has a 100% success rate: Every individual who we work with gains a benefit—whether it’s planting a seed, identifying obstacles to employment, successfully completing a temporary assignment, or obtaining permanent work.
MAKING A REFERRAL
If you know someone in recovery who could use our support, please consider referring them to Working Fields. While we welcome you to direct your clients to us, we have found the greatest success in completing a connection when case managers from our referring partners share an individual’s contact information with Working Fields—with their permission—and allow us to reach out for the first contact.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Experience has shown that when we are able to introduce ourselves, share our recovery stories, and make a personal connection, their guard goes down and we can help them move forward in the process.
