Success for the Entire Community

Employing people with disabilities offers many advantages to you and your business. Before the worker arrives for their first day, much preliminary work has occurred. A representative from Community Employment Service will meet with you to determine your job needs. A comprehensive job analysis will be performed to ensure that the right employee will be placed on the job. Then, an on-site job coach/trainer can assist your staff with training supports if necessary. The job coach/trainer will continue with the employee until job tasks are performed independently. If additional tasks are assigned, the coach/trainer may be able to assist. Follow-up services will begin after initial training and will continue for ninety days and possibly long-term for some individuals.
