Employment Program at Sea Salt Featured in Local News

Vail Place was thrilled to be mentioned in two news stories at KARE11 and MinnPost.com this past month regarding our Employment Program and our partnership with Sea Salt.

The cooperation between Vail Place and Sea Salt began in 2010 with just 3 transitional positions. Since then it has blossomed into a robust program that offers a number of Vail Place members summer employment to help reintroduce them to the workplace and provides work experience. Since the beginning, we have had 17 members employed at Sea Salt.

Vail Place has had 17 members employed at Sea Salt since the beginning, with 70% of this group still connected to Vail Place and 75% of that group are currently employed by the Sea Salt owner. Sea Salt is a great example of how local businesses can partner with Vail Place to improve the lives of others, and to improve the economy by introducing people with mental illnesses back into the workforce.
