Our Services
How does the program work?
Client Choice
No one is excluded from participating.
Integrated Services
The Employment Specialist coordinates services with your treatment team.
Competitive Jobs
The goal is to get you a job in the community that anyone can apply for and that pays at least minimum wage, including part-time and fulltime jobs.
Benefits Counseling
Employment specialists help people understand how benefits (such as Social Security or Medicaid) are affected by working. Most people are able to work and continue to receive some benefits.
Timely Support
Job search starts soon after a client expresses interest in working — there are no pre-employment requirements.
Continuous Supports
Individualized supports are provided to help you maintain employment for as long as you want our assistance.
Client Preferences
Choices about work are based on the individual’s interests and skills.
