Supported Employment
We Support You
We understand that work brings dignity, self-respect and self-esteem. The Supported Employment program exists to help people who want to work find competitively paid employment in a field of their choosing and for the number of hours they want to work, whenever possible.
We will help you in every way possible to find a job. You decide what you would like for help before and after finding a job. We believe everyone has strengths to build upon and hopes and dreams that will influence some of the decisions made. Our goal is to help you find a job that is both satisfying and long term.
