Supported Employment Services (SES) assists people with an intellectual disability to explore employment opportunities. This includes assistance with resume writing, work skills development, placement matching, on the job training and follow up with both the employer and worker.
Employment specialists meet with individuals for career counselling. They then match the needs of both employers and individuals when seeking potential worksites.
Support services are offered at no cost to the employer. SES provides on-the-job training, as well as monitoring individual’s progress through follow-up.
Our Team of Support Workers:
- Meet with individuals to explore their interests, abilities, career goals, and support needs.
- Seek out worksites in the community based on the factors identified with the individual.
- Meet with potential employers to clearly define the nature of the job requirements and the type of training and support that might be required.
- Are available on an ongoing basis to provide support to the individual and to the employer. The nature and frequency of their involvement is mutually determined by all parties.
