Supported Employment
Supported employment is a model designed to help individuals with significant disabilities secure and retain paid employment. It uses a partnership strategy to enable people with disabilities to achieve sustainable long-term employment and allows businesses to employ valuable workers.
This approach involves providing personalized support to individuals to help them find and maintain jobs in competitive work environments. Supported employment services can include one-to-one support tailored to the individual's needs, assistance in integrating into the workplace, and training for both the individual and the employer.
