Supported Employment Services
Supported Employment Services provide individuals with disabilities assistance in obtaining competitive employment with the support of an Employment Consultant. Employment Consultants may assist participants in searching for available positions, completing employment applications, rehearsing interview skills, and following up with potential employers.
Once employment is obtained, the Employment Consultant meets with the participant at least twice monthly, either at or away from the workplace, to provide any ongoing assistance that may be needed to maintain employment.
Supported Employment Services are funded through Vocational Rehabilitation. Vocational Rehabilitation may be contact at (765) 282-9863 for eligibility information.
