To kick off your year, you will receive over a month of training and job orientation to help you adjust to your new role. Then, you will receive weekly on-the-job supervision with your direct supervisor/manager to promote your ongoing development. The feedback I received in supervision was invaluable. I learned how to better support the guys with whom I was working and how to be a more effective member of my team. Finally, you will be paired with a professional mentor who can offer advice for your career beyond the MercyWorks year. My professional mentor happened to be a Mercy Home employee, but MercyWorks has a strong network of professionals in just about every industry to match your personal interests.
After my MercyWorks year, I decided to stay on staff at Mercy Home as a Youth Care Worker, working in the same role and on the same team as my MercyWorks placement. The transition could not have been easier, which is a testament to the fact that all MercyWorks placements are full-time jobs offering real work experience. I have a phenomenal manager who continues to challenge and encourage me on both a personal and professional level. I am so grateful for all of her guidance and support. All in all, the professional development I received as a MercyWorker helped me grow from a passionate college graduate with a passion into a young professional and a social worker.
