work supports
|
Work supports are based on the needs of the Job Seeker. Some Job Seekers require extra help doing their job. Our Job Coaches provide that support. They work with the Job Seeker providing the support, encouragement and if needed helping them to complete the parts of the job they may struggle with. The Job Coach is not there to do the job for the Job Seeker but to teach, support, direct and guide. The Job coach will help to create a natural support team and work with the employer to help build the independence of the Job Seeker.

Example:
The Job Seeker may need help setting up their workstation but can do the rest of the job without support. The Job Coach would help with that piece and leave for the rest of shift. The Job Seeker may need support during the entire shift. Then the Job Coach would stay with the Job Seeker working alongside them by guiding, directing, teaching, and supporting. Sometimes the Job Seeker needs help to navigate online trainings, the Job Coach would help by teaching and even reading and explaining the on line course.

Employment Specialist Check-inWhen the Job Seeker can do the entire job and works with the natural supports around them. The Employer would still like to have contact with agency to help them communicate the Employers needs or Employee’s needs, to make sure employee is happy, understanding his or her job expatiations, help if struggling, come back in to help the Job Seeker learn a new task, give employer feedback, and vice versa or even help with evaluations, paperwork, and online trainings...etc...

career planning
Helping potential employees to find their employment path. Some may have a job already but would like to change careers. Career Planning gives the person the support needed to do so. The Career Planner works with the focus person and the people who know them best. They focus on the persons interest, strengths, surroundings, hobbies, goals. It’s about getting to know the person and exploring the surrounding community businesses. Setting up tours and work trials based on interest. We are not looking for a job but exploring the different businesses so the person can get a feel for what is out there. The Career Planner comes up with themes based on the persons interest and they use these themes to find businesses with some or all the themes. This report is compiled and then shared with Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
