PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Competitive employment services are designed for
individuals who already have specific skills and some previous work
history. Participants referred for this service may need assistance in
resume building, interviewing techniques and job development activities.
Based on the vocational goal of the participant,
professional job developers set up job hunting and development activities.
These include identifying which employers to contact, securing
applications and other position related materials, arranging for
informational interviews, and making labor market assessments. The
participant is expected to take an active role in the process.
Once a position is secured and the job offer accepted,
skilled job coaches are available to assist in the initial, intensive
training on the job. Retention services are also provided for 90 days
following placement. These services focus on ensuring that both the
employee and employer are satisfied with the job and that expectations are
being met.
If needed, training is also provided to facilitate
co-worker support for the new employee. Even after the 90-day retention
period, if the need arises for specific training or support, staff remains
available to meet those needs.
