The right employment
     The right place
          The right time

Our structured behavioral management process overcomes obstacles and motivates individuals who have given up on their EmployABILITY.

Return-to-Work the most difficult workers' compensation and LTD cases:
  • "impossible", or non-existent medical release
  • difficult labor markets
  • unmotivated or hopeless attitude
  • remote areas
Upon referral:
  1. Evaluation
  2. Assess transferable skills

  4. Catalyst obtains employment as home-based worker trained to perform outbound survey calls, inbound customer service, proof-reading or data entry jobs. Any physical accommodations required are addressed. CATALYST continues case management until successful resolution.
  5. Carrier provides wage subsidy for supported on-the-job training for 400-750 hours.
  6. After 250 hours of employment, participant evaluated for enrollment in Community College of Allegheny County for Certificate Training (OPTIONAL).
