Specialized Service  The Supported Employment Program helps individuals with
developmental disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment through job placement, job training and on-going support. Job Developers assist consumers in finding a job that is a right
match for their skills and job preference. The Job Developer accompanies the consumer to job interviews, helps in filling out applications and serves as the consumer's advocate. Once a
consumer is hired, a Job Coach provides direct support by offering intensive, on-the-job training. The Job Coach will work
alongside the consumer until a satisfactory work level is achieved and maintained. Then, the Job Coach will provide Follow-Along Service, monitoring the consumer's success on a bi-monthly basis.
Follow-Along Services continue as long as additional support is needed. The Supported Employment Program also offers employment opportunities through the Mobile Work
Crew. Mobile Work Crews are contracted by area businesses to perform a variety of services. A Job Coach provides job training and on-going support. For more information call 447-9999, ext. 101.
