Narrative
Customized Employment Options (CE) is a person-centered, zero exclusion employment program for persons with disabilities.
The program consists of four elements:
1. Discovery – An extensive look at each program member's interests, contributions, and conditions for success.
2. Paid Internships – As we identify each person's skills and interests, we pair them with one of our employer – partners. They have signed Partnership Agreements and have unmet workforce needs that match a person's talents and interests. Each paid internship lasts an average of eight to twelve weeks.
3. Customized job placement - If the internship host employer is not able to convert the internship into permanent employment, we will help the participant find a suitable position with another company.
4. Post Placement supports - Our Internship Facilitator will be on site to help with training and the transition to structured natural supports.
