provide a range of work experience and supported employment
opportunities. The process we use for securing work
placement is as follows: |
•
Development of a personal profile |
| • Identification of employment
opportunities that match the abilities and aspirations
of each person |
| • A job matching process then
begins which considers the career ambitions of
each person and the expectations of potential
employers |
| • Employment support staff
will then provide the appropriate level of support
to the individual, the employer and, when necessary,
the family |
|
| People who
work in supported employment enjoy a range of job opportunities
with organisations such as: |
•
American Embassy |

Employment Service also offers a “Drop In Club”
where we address the social/leisure and educational
needs of individuals who work part-time in supported
employment. It does this through enrolment in adult
education classes, involvement in community-based activities
and skills teaching such as travel training and accessing
local amenities. |
