SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT

Preparation for Success

Our Supported Employment program is specifically designed to offer customized assistance to people with disabilities, helping them develop the skills necessary to maintain their current jobs. If you are someone who is differently abled and are feeling overwhelmed by your work responsibilities, or are struggling to adjust to changing work environments, reach out to us and we will do our best to provide the support you need to keep thriving!


WHAT IS SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT?

Goodwill’s Supported Employment program is specifically designed and altered to the needs of each individual participant. Our specialists will provide tailored feedback and hands-on support to address any current issues in the workplace.

On top of 1-1 support from a workforce development specialist, participants in the program will have access to skills training to continue increasing their employability and value in the workplace. Participants will also be given financial coaching advice through our Stand By Me Financial Coaching program designed to support participants with their savings, budgeting, and bill paying!
