Community Access
 |
This program supports the individual to be involved in their community when employment is not their goal. It facilitates meaningful activities and opportunities to connect with the community through attending recreation and leisure activities, joining clubs or organized groups and also to give back to the community through volunteer or contract work. Volunteering in the community promotes a sense of belonging and increases self esteem and confidence. |

Employment Preparation
 |
Through assessments and knowledge of the individual, staff is able to help the individual determine their areas of skill and interest. Individuals are then assisted to develop the skills required in order to obtain paid employment in the area of their interest. Practical experience comes from volunteering or working for an employer for a time limited placement period. Staff identifies problem areas and provides further training to the individual to overcome these areas. Support is given in resume writing, interview skills and positive work ethics. Job search is the last step in this program. |

Supported Employment

The ulitmate goal is for the individual to be independent in their job. Staff assist individuals in maintaining paid employment with ongoing support both to the employer and/or the individual. As the individual becomes proficent in the job duties, the amount of staff support will diminish. Follow-up support continues throughout the employment term with the Employment Specialist making regular drop-in connections. |
