Supported Employment

 

Th                                Supported Employment The Supported Employment program offers job matching and individual placements within the community. When an individual enters the program, a match of the client's skills to the appropriate work environment is made. Initially, a Job Coach is assigned to the individual to provide onsite training, learning the job and teaching the client how to do the job. Clients receive on-going support as needed in order to maintain or enhance employment. As the clients become more comfortable and experienced in the job, the Job Coach’s presence is gradually removed. If there is a problem or a new facet to the job, the Job Coach is able to return to the job site, and assist the client temporarily until the situation is stabilized again.   Clients usually work 20 or more hours per week and earn competitive wages.
