An Employment Specialist will seek to match the participant client’s interests and skill sets with outside employment opportunities available in the marketplace. Our employment counselors work one-on-one with each individual to supply support and assistance in the job exploration review, employment application process, onsite and zoom interviewing meetings, and training for the skills needed to succeed in the commercial marketplace.
Our job coaches also provide these important support services to our participant clients during the initial start of employment. At that time, it is critical to build good skill sets and work habits, that will propel the individual into long term successful community employment. Further for those people who require additional ongoing support during their outside employment tenure, long-term-follow-along services are available.
