Supported Employment

We are Passionate About Supported Employment

Employment gives people a sense of purpose and self-worth. Not only does a job have financial benefits but it also helps us connect socially. We strongly believe all individuals, regardless of disability, deserve the opportunity to be full members of their community where they can live, learn, work and play. And we are providing services to make it possible. We assist individuals looking for employment and we work hand-in-hand as needed to maintain employment.

Assisting Employers

Our Employment Specialists can help local businesses meet your labor needs. We meet with business partners to conduct a job analysis and identify potentially qualified applicants. We value Aberdeen businesses that allow our participants to obtain employment in our community. Our goal is to help you find an employee well suited for your position while giving our participants the skills to succeed and the opportunity to feel more fulfilled with their lives.
