Creating Jobs For All
As the job market improves and unemployment keeps falling, more people are finding work for the first time or getting back to work after long bouts of unemployment. That includes, in particular, people with disabilities. We see more team members with disabilities being welcomed into the workforce at a growing rate. Our team specializes in supportive employment and skill building for today’s job market, secondary education and advocacy programs.
That include Work Readiness Training, Job Retention Services, Job Placement, and Post Secondary Planning and much more.
We support the Vocational Rehab program with contracted services for the following:
- Clerical Technology Job Training
- Job Development/Job Placement
- RIS- Rehabilitation Instructional Services
- TWE- Trial Work Experience
- WAT – Work Adjustment Training

RIS – Rehabilitation Instructional Services
This program provides support to participants that are in need of life skills support or practical skills training that supports a plan of employment or work training.
