Our program provides intensive and ongoing support to ensure your success, including job coaching, learning job duties, and understanding workplace behaviors.
We offer two main service models: Traditional Supported Employment and Customized Supported Employment. Additionally, we collaborate with Project Search internship sites to provide even more opportunities. With Supported Employment, you can achieve independence and build a fulfilling career.
Traditional Supported Employment (TSE) is a program designed to help youth and adults with disabilities find and keep competitive jobs. Our individualized services consider your strengths, interests, and preferences to match you with a suitable position. Throughout the five phases of TSE, you’ll receive support from a team of professionals. This includes identifying your needs and goals, searching for jobs, providing on-the-job coaching, and helping you adjust to the workplace. As you gain confidence and independence, the level of support will gradually decrease until you successfully transition to long-term employment.
The process involves four main steps:
Customized Supported Employment (CSE) is a service designed to help individuals with disabilities find and maintain competitive integrated employment. It uses a person-centered approach, focusing on the individual's strengths, interests, and preferences.
