Supported Employment
The Custom Job Search. Supported Employment is designed to assist individuals to find and/or keep a job. This is achieved through the assistance of a Supported Employment Manager (job coach). Job coaches collaborate with job seekers to develop a career plan, set goals and expectations, and train on how to navigate the workforce. They also assist with career negotiation and on-the-job training. Along the way, job coaches offer strategies for self-advocacy and building natural supports on the job and in the community.

This results in career employment.
