Vocational Services
The
Supported Employment Program has two major
components: Individualized Placement and Mobile
Crew. Individualized Placement services include
recruitment, vocational evaluations, on-the-job
training, placement services, and employee
retention services. Jobs are developed based on
the individual preferences and abilities of the
employee and the expressed needs of the employer.
Placements are secured in a competitive
environment and include such positions as, stock
handlers, porters, childcare workers, packers, and
kitchen helpers.
Mobile Crew employs
individuals with developmental disabilities and
offers an opportunity to work collectively in an
integrated setting. The Mobile Crew is also
available for snow removal, yard and basement
cleaning, office cleaning, and similar
jobs.
The Sheltered Workshop environment
provides individuals with the opportunity to work
at their own pace and develop competitive
employment skills. Various contracted services
provide diversity and development in job
responsibility within bench assembly
tasks.
