Services
Job Exploration
First, we get to know you so we can find out what kind of job would best suit you. You will receive effective and thorough assessments to identify your strengths and barriers to employment, and any support or accommodations you might need. Then we will work with you to create an employment plan.
Active Job Search
Together, we will look at job opportunities in your community. Our team has strong connections with hundreds of employers, so we know the latest information on jobs, market trends, wages and employers’ needs and practices. We will assist you with your job search with a focus on achieving the best possible match for your interests and skills. We will also identify modifications or adaptations that you might need.
Job Preparation
We will help you to develop the skills needed for the job you want. This may include providing you with skill set training, on-the-job training, resumé development and interview skills.
We will coach you through the interview process, including how to handle discussions about disclosure of your disabilities.
On-the-Job Support
Once you have employment, we will continue to help while you establish yourself in the job. Support can come in many forms depending on what your needs are, and may include on-site job coaching while you develop the skills necessary for your job.
