Employment Services

People supported include those with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health issues, visual impairments, autism, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, stroke survivors, as well as welfare recipients.
As individuals explore their job interests and express preferences, SJCS staff work with them to determine their goals and the support needed to do the job successfully. SJCS Employment Specialists provide comprehensive vocational assessments, career planning, job development and selection, on-the-job training, job coaching, and other life skills training. At the same time, they support employers and co-workers to work effectively with new employees.
