Employment Services
The goal of Employment Services is to assist individuals in developing job opportunities by placing them in the job market. They are assisted in obtaining employment in order to earn a living and becoming a part of the productive workforce of America. After being employed, they are assisted by an employment specialist serving each community in making appropriate work decisions and in maintaining employment. The skill level of the individual helps each person in meeting the demands of the workplace
Program Services
In employment development training, the initial emphasis of the consumer’s program focuses on safety. When this has been thoroughly covered and explained, the development process moves on to focus primarily on work behavior training where consumers are assisted in developing the necessary work habits required to become employed and retain employment.

Services are provided for individuals referred by public or private organizations. Vocational evaluations are provided for workman’s compensation/injured worker cases.
