What exactly is Supported Employment?...

Supported Employment is an opportunity to hire diverse employees for full or part-time competitive employment.  Supported Employment offers the needed support to assist an individual, who may not have been given employment opportunities in the past, to complete the employment process by providing a job coach who will work directly with the employee and the employer.

The support, both on and off the job, may include jobe development, on-th-job traiing, supervision, skill training, and/or social support for the employee.  Support may also be offered to assist the employer in equipping, training, and supervising a new employee, as well as in restructuring a job to provide for greater efficiency.

Once the employee has gained confidence and is performing the job to the employer's specificiations, the job coach will begin to fade support from the job site.  Follow-along services when necessary, will be provided after direct support is faded.

Now more than ever, you need reliable, capable workers.  Through Four County Counseling Center Supported Employment you can hire an employee with:
