Narrative
The focus of this program is:
- job skill development
- enhancing work opportunities
- seeking meaningful employment in the community
People can be valued workers, 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.
