Employment Services
Community Involvement Programs takes pride in our commitment to an Employment First philosophy: we believe that employment should be the first and preferred option for working-aged adults who have disabilities, just as it is for other adults in our society. We work hard to reinforce the expectation that adults with disabilities can and should be contributing members of their communities, and employment is one of the best ways to accomplish this mission.
We provide innovative, employment-focused supports to assist adults with a wide range of disabilities to find and maintain regular employment, at regular businesses, and at fair wages. We have expertise in providing flexible, individualized employment supports--from start to finish--to people with developmental disabilities, mental health disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. Our goal is to develop customized jobs in the community that capitalize on each individual's interest, abilities, and personal outcomes. Employment services include any or all of the following:
- Discovering Personal Genius* and Career Planning
- Customized Job Development
- On-the-Job Training
- On-Going Support
* Discovering Personal Genius was developed by Griffin-Hammis Associates, LLC
