The information gleaned during the discovery process is used to develop an individualized vocational profile. The profile targets particular types of jobs and skills, along with specific employers that might prove to be a good match. Using a personalized marketing portfolio, we develop jobs by working closely with employers to customize a job that serves the employer's needs and takes into account the individual's strengths and needs as well. Job Path provides intensive job coaching as people learn their new jobs and continues assistance over the long-term to ensure job retention. Please note, a selected number of members may be worked with at one time due to the intense working relationship the employment specialist will have with each member while working towards employment.
