Narrative

Group Supported Employment:

Valley Collaborative works with local organizations to provide people with the opportunity to work and earn money in a fully integrated, small group setting. They are supported by a Valley Collaborative Direct Support Professional staff member. People who work in Valley’s group supported model are considered worker trainees. They complete worksite specific tasks. They earning pay equal to the hourly minimum wage in Massachusetts. 

Many people served and supported through Valley Collaborative’s Adult Programming also strive for independent employment. Individual Supported Employment is a service that helps people pick, investigate, seek out, and find independent employment. They work with a Valley Collaborative Job Developer. This one to one service is important in helping people achieve and maintain competitive, independent employment in the community.
