Traditional Employment Services
This individualized service helps individuals uncover, secure and maintain employment that aligns with their abilities and goals. Services consist of pre- and post-placement activities, such as resume building, interview skills training, networking, uncovering of job leads, job development, on-the-job coaching, support and more.
Supported Employment Services
Supported Employment Services provide individuals with a customized job search and extended on-the-job coaching and follow along services to encourage long-term success on the job. Supported employment services are typically offered to Vocational Rehabilitation participants with the most significant disabilities that may require intensive, extended services to maintain their employment success.
Participant’s Perspective
On-the-Job Training is a program designed to give participants short term work experience to learn and build employability skills. Participants work one-on-one with an Employment Specialist to find a job experience that fits the individuals interests and job goals. The participant is trained by the Employment Specialist, including check-ins, to ensure the participant is learning the skills necessary to progress into competitive employment. On-the-Job Training is usually followed by a referral to employment services where an Employment Specialist will help the participant find long-term, competitive employment.
Employer’s Perspective
Businesses in the community are invited to participate in DiscoverAbility’s On-the-Job Training program by hosting participants at their places of business. Participants learn valuable skills, while employers receive the benefit of an employee with a Job Coach to support them with training.
On-the-Job Training is of no cost to employers and participants are covered by liability insurance. Employers may offer long-term employment upon completion of On-the-Job Training and will be eligible for tax breaks for doing so.
