Individual supported employment

ISE is a powerful and flexible way to create employment opportunities, ensure regular employment benefits, provide ongoing support and achieve full participation and integration into the workforce and the community at large.
Individuals in the program are assigned a job coach to assist with the employment process from start to finish. This involves assessing the individual’s strengths, weaknesses and job interests and assisting with skill-building, resume writing, job applications, and job interviews. Once in the workplace, the job coach helps with learning the various job responsibilities. As the individual becomes more familiar with the position the job coach fades and only provides services as needed to ensure the success of the individual and business partnership.
