Supported Employment Service, 1915i Supported Employment Program

The 1915i Supported Employment service is a one-on-one vocational development program that provides assistance with choosing, acquiring and maintaining a job with the goal of increasing a person’s independence and self-reliance using a person-centered approach. Each participant takes part in an evaluation and planning process that identifies pre-job education and development activities including career counseling, job shadowing, training, and assistance in learning required skills.  Participants in Supported Employment are guided by Nevins staff to find or create the appropriate job opportunity for each unique individual.  This service provides coaching and employment support activities that enable a participant to complete initial job training and maintain employment through monitoring, supervision, work adjustment training and counseling.

This individualized plan for success includes progress assessment, as well as personal goals identified by the individual and Nevins.
