Supported Employment Services are designed to provide a support system with the primary goal of individual job placement in the community. The Center for Life Enrichment offers vocational training and support while focusing on each individual’s specific employable skills, ability level, interests, and aptitude.
Jobs in a Competitive Market:
TCLE assists individuals with obtaining and maintaining jobs in the community. Positions held include food service, custodial, housekeeping, data entry, laundry, and stocking.
Utilizing our Community Employment Specialists (CESPs), individuals are assisted with locating and obtaining desired positions. The Center for Life Enrichment then provides one-on-one training with a CESP. Job coaching begins intensively and fades as the individual becomes independent. This training is goal-orientated and may also include participation in enclaves to obtain vocational and social skills.
Individuals who are prepared to begin competitive employment in the community, receive the following services:
Job Development
Individual abilities, skill levels, and interests are assessed. CESPs assist in job application and interview processes. The job seeker is matched with an employer.
Ongoing Supports
A CESP works on-site with the individual to train and problem solve. CESPs lend their support until the trainee is able to work independently.
Follow Along
The Supported Employment Department works with the individual to promote continuing employment and to assist with setting and achieving new goals. Individuals supported by the center are offered management mediation sessions and on-site training to improve skills needed in the workplace.
