The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) enforces labor laws, supports worker protections, and delivers workforce and employment services to jobseekers and employers across the state.
What They Do for NJATOD Members
- Provide workforce development and training programs that help individuals build skills and obtain employment—key elements of long-term recovery.
- Enforce labor standards and protections that support fair wages and safe working conditions for individuals reentering the workforce after treatment.
- Offer employer-focused resources and grants that can be leveraged by partner organizations supporting patients in job placement and retention.
Why It Matters
Employment and economic stability are powerful protective factors in recovery. By linking patients with NJDOL workforce resources, NJATOD programs can help individuals move from stabilization to meaningful work, strengthening both recovery and community reintegration.
