Narrative
The focus of this program is job skill development, enhancing work opportunities, and seeking meaningful employment in the community as valued employees, earning competitive wages with the least restrictive supports necessary to continue employment.
This program provides:
•Individualized on-site training with a fading process to promote independence
•Resume and job preparation, assessments and evaluations
•Supports and follow-up to obtain and retain community employment
•Transportation assistance as needed
•Skills to earn competitive wages
Although our goal is independence, monthly follow-ups will continue to establish a relationship between the Employer and the agency to create an on-going successful placement. The agency takes great pride providing people with disabilities the skills and supports they need to obtain and retain a competitive job in the community.
