supported employment
Supported employment is a wonderful program.It is part of capabilities.The program gives support to disabled people who want to work.They supply many services they give pre work classes on many topics to empower you to be successful in the work place.They make you resumes and post them on line they help you with the applications with interview skills they do mock interviews.They will be with you on the job until your comfortable.They play as active a role in your job as you want.They help set life goals besides employment and always call you back when you call.They will even meet with you after their hours if your on the night shift.I love the program the people are nice and friendly and act as friends.They arent condesending to they give individual attention even tho they have big case loads.I would recommend the program to anyone.
