Narrative

Job seekers are provided both training and help with résumé design and interviewing skills. The job developers take an active role in the interviewing process when communication challenges exist but only as necessary. Once a job is found and accepted by a person, does the employment specialist’s role begins.

The Arc offers a menu of employment services to cater to the diverse population we support. Our group employment sites let people who need ongoing, consistent support make meaningful contributions to the workforce. Staff support a small group of people at community-based, integrated worksites to provide a menu of services.
