Narrative
Our employment services provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities the support they need to develop important job skills needed for career opportunities. We provide this through community-based vocational training and employment opportunities.
Vinfen offers individuals a variety of options to assist job seekers on their path to finding a career. We provide services that help our job seekers prepare for, obtain, and continue their highest possible level of employment through Supported Employment, Group Employment, Sponsored Employment, and Arts-Based Vocational Services. At Vinfen, we always develop jobs that pay minimum wage.
We also offer Community Based Day Support at this location. We provide skills training in safety, communication, every day living skills, healthy living, etc. We utilize group and individual activities that promote independence and skill building to promote an increased quality of life for those individuals that we support.
Both of these services are primarily funded by DDS.
