About Us
Disability Does Not Mean Workplace Inability
Our Mission
Empowering individuals facing systemic barriers and historically excluded communities with whole person employment and workforce development services designed to promote self-sufficiency and independence--by removing barriers, creating opportunities, and helping job seekers build careers in their communities
Our Process
We provide initial assessments and prepare every individual to not just start work, but to continue working and advancing in their new career. We do this by following a simple framework:
Intake Interview​
This is where we gather documentation on prior work history, training and education. We conduct comprehensive Vocational Assessments (VA), complete intake meetings, and establish case management files to track progress throughout all services provided.
Employment Preparation
We get each person physically and socially ready to work. This includes Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS), Independent Living Skills Training (ILST), Situational Assessments (SA) in both paid and unpaid settings, and Adult Work Experience (AWE) with personalized worksite materials and wage administration.
Job Development and Placement
We assist in creating a list of potential employers and train job seekers on how to give a winning interview performance. Our Employment Services (ES) include job development, placement services, and coordination with our network of community business partners to secure appropriate employment opportunities.
Employment Retention and Short Term Supports
We stay in contact with every participant after employment to ensure that they are comfortable with their new job. If there are conflicts, we work to facilitate a timely resolution. We provide Short Term Supports, ongoing case management, and regular check-ins to address workplace challenges and support long-term employment success.
