Supported Employment

The Employment Services Program is designed to assist individuals in developing the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to achieve their employment goals. Our person-centered approach focuses on each individual’s strengths, interests, abilities, and career aspirations.

Through our program, we provide:

• Career Exploration and Planning: Assisting individuals in identifying vocational interests, strengths, and employment goals.
• Job Readiness Training: Supporting the development of workplace skills, including communication, time management, professionalism, and interview preparation.
• Job Development and Placement: Working with local employers to identify employment opportunities that match each person’s skills and interests.
• On-the-Job Coaching and Support: Providing individualized training and support to help individuals learn job responsibilities and successfully maintain employment.
• Workplace Integration: Assisting individuals in building relationships with coworkers and becoming active participants in their workplace communities.
• Benefits Counseling and Resource Navigation: Helping individuals understand how employment may impact benefits and connecting them with community resources when needed.
• Employer Partnerships: Collaborating with businesses to create inclusive workplaces and promote diverse employment opportunities.

Our goal is to empower individuals to achieve competitive, integrated employment, increase self-sufficiency, and enhance their quality of life. We believe that everyone has valuable skills and talents to contribute to the workforce, and we are committed to supporting individuals throughout their employment journey.

We take pride in helping participants gain independence, develop new skills, build confidence, and become active members of their communities through meaningful employment opportunities.

We welcome the opportunity to partner with employers, community organizations, and families to support successful employment outcomes for the individuals we serve.
