SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT (Disability Services)
Program description
Goodwill’s Supported Employment Program is available for individuals with a disability who would like individualized assistance with preparing for, finding,
and keeping a job. Additional support services can be coordinated as needed which
may include help with solving problems at work or in day-to-day
living.
Goodwill will help identify vocational skills, strengths, and areas of interest for use in finding job opportunities that match those criteria. A Goodwill employment consultant will assist the employer with teaching the tasks of the job and help the employee learn the job at the job site. Coaching continues at no cost to the individual until the employer and individual are satisfied that assistance is no longer necessary. Follow-up service includes regular on-site visits and employee
evaluations by Goodwill to ensure that the employee-employer match is working
effectively. Follow-up service continues for as long as the employee needs
it.
