Supported Employment Services

Designed to help consumers gain a new level of independence, our supported employment services focus on real work experiences. The employment program is designed to identify and provide:

• targeted job matching
• employment placement
• on the job training

With the support of our trained staff, adults interested in employment are matched with a job coach to assist them in reaching their goal. The job coaches assist in creating a job development plan based on the individual’s interests, skills and past vocational experience. Adults are supported through the process of identifying their career interests through:

• developing the skills necessary to obtain the job
• developing resumes
• learning interviewing skills
• completing job applications
• exploring their community for job availability

Consumers have secured jobs in areas such as customer service, food service, sales, housekeeping and material handling.

Employers have the confidence that they are hiring loyal, dependable and well-trained employees.
