This program locates and maintains employment opportunities in the community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide placement services, ongoing job coaching and support to assist in building new skills, independence and self-confidence.
If you are hiring, chances are we know someone to recommend. We will assist you in identifying process bottlenecks, unmet needs an entry-level employee could address, and areas where your more skilled employees can be freed up to focus their expertise.
Our clients are positive thinkers, responsible and eager to do their job well. We pre-screen applicants to match their skills and interests to your needs.
Our training experts provide initial skills coaching and ongoing support to ensure successful employees for your company.
We can help you strengthen your team, improve efficiency and save money. Many of our job seekers qualify for state and federal incentive programs designed to give you immediate returns on the long-term employment investment.
