Employment Systems - Supported Employment

Supported Employment is a personnel service of Employment Systems that matches qualified persons with disabilities to businesses with employment needs.  Consultation, coaching/training on the job and follow-along services are provided by Systems Unlimited staff–at no cost to employers.

Supportive services are designed to enable the individual to seek, obtain, and maintain community employment; increasing integration, economic self-support, independence and interactions with other members of the community.

Services include:

Pre-placement & Transition:  Staff works with individuals to evaluate and develop work skills and habits while assessing a person’s employment goals.  Our staff may work on transitioning from school to work while an individual is still in high school.

Job Placement:  Job development is specialized to make sure an individual’s interests, skills, and abilities are matched to the employment needs of a business.  Co-worker training is a benefit that assists a business in providing natural supports and supervision for each individual placed.

Job Coaches:  Trained staff provide initial instruction and support on site.  They develop an individual task analysis which shows where growth and independence occur on the job.

Follow-along:  Employment Systems stresses open and constant communication with employers, co-workers, and supported employees by following up on job placements to ensure the quality of services provided.
