Supported Employment Services, Central Virginia

Goodwill's Supported Employment Services provide an intense level of support with job placement, training, and ongoing follow-along services for individuals with disabilities. 



Individual Placement

Through the Individual Placement model, an Employment Specialist searches for the appropriate job for the individual. Services generally include bus training, completion of job analysis, securing employment, hands-on training by the Employment Specialist in a community business, and monitoring of the participant's home and work environments to ensure that the individual maintains employment.



Group Supported Employment

This program offers a high level of training and specialized supervision to adults who require ongoing supervision while being able to work in an integrated employment setting.  Several participants with similar work interests will work side-by-side with an Employment Specialist who gives assistance and guidance.



There is a fee for case management, specialized supervision, onsite job training, and ongoing follow-along services. This fee is generally paid by the referral source and/or identified funder.
