This community-based program helps adults with disabilities find and maintain employment at area businesses. The program offers vocational assessment, job readiness, and work skills training.

The Supported Employment program bolsters the lives of our adults with disabilities by helping them train for and secure meaningful jobs at businesses in the community. The program offers vocational assessment job readiness, and work skills training. Other program benefits include:

• Matching each individual to a position based on skills and interests
• One-on-one coaching and on-site support as needed
• An established work schedule from as little as one to 40+ hours per week
