Employment Services

Lasting job success relies not only on technical skills, often referred to as “hard skills”, but on essential “soft skills”. Soft skills are less about the actual job, and more about how someone completes the job. These crucial skills revolve around a worker’s character, attitude, and relationships.

Some Examples of Soft Skills include:

• Communication
• Time Management
• Teamwork
• Prioritization
• Problem-Solving
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Work Ethic
• Dependability

Our Disability Services Care Team specializes in helping adults with disabilities develop and maintain important soft skills. Our Soft Skills Training curriculum covers 10 key skills taught through small-classroom education and community participation.

Many of our clients participate in Pre-Vocational Skills Training before seeking work in the community. This important training helps prepare adults with disabilities to enter the workforce later by strengthening skills in a low-pressure training environment. These services are provided in community settings and involve partnering with non-profit employers.

Some of our clients may not want consistent employment but still desire to be fully active and engaged in their community. Our Non-Vocational Skills Training supports this goal and helps individuals build new skills that will enable them to participate fully in the world around them. Examples include strengthening important skills like social interaction or safety. Our team works with each client to assess their goals and find ways to practice them in real-life settings.
