Narrative

Designed for post-school age adults living independently in group residences or with their families.  DDS Funded.

Minute Man Arc Employment services are designed to help people in becoming as independent as possible in employment and community participation.  These services include:

• Vocational Evaluation
• Group and Independent (supported)
• Placement Services
• Transportation

Employment Services usually begins with a vocational evaluation to assess skills, work readiness and values. It looks at  career interests and likes.  A Career Plan is then developed to help in the supports needed to find work and define responsibilities.  For those people in need of skills development and are funded by DDS , we have group employment. 

We have sites that are typical of the local economy including:

• an equestrian (riding) center
• plant care at a hospital
• box making at a large fulfillment center
• clerical at a business support center
• retail at a department store 
• packaging at a small internet food business

MMA Employment services have a long history of successful community employment placements.  Once placed, we can support people in their jobs over the long term assuring longevity.  People funded by DDS may also be eligible for transportation help to and from work.

The Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDS), MassAbility, the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH), and local school systems refer eligible people to Minute Man Arc’s Employment Services Program. Additionally, private pay options are available for people who are not referred by DDS, MassAbility and DMH.
