We embark on a discovery process, gathering valuable information about a person’s interests, skills, and values. A vocational profile is developed by identifying strategies for success, required supports and training, and vocational themes. We then work to identify the needs of local employers and match them to the job seeker’s requirements.
Once employment is attained, our staff work with the employee and employer to develop strategies for success that will fulfill the requirements of all involved, for a successful, long-term match.
