"Job placement" involves matching individuals with suitable job opportunities based on their skills and preferences. This process includes job search assistance, resume optimization, matching candidates with job openings, interview preparation, negotiating job offers, and follow-up support. Employment placement services aim to connect individuals with meaningful employment opportunities that align with their career goals.
A career assessment is a tailored assessment which may include a combination of evaluations, self-assessments, interviews, and professional consultations, to name a few.
Community outreach is a crucial part of our effort to create job opportunities for each participant. We work closely with community members and businesses to spread awareness about our services and break down barriers to employment. We advocate for inclusive hiring practices through partnerships with local leaders and strive to create supportive work environments. Supported Community Connections (SCC) services are vital, empowering participants with the skills and resources to engage in community activities like education, volunteering, and socializing. These activities occur in various community settings, with participants interacting with non-disabled individuals. SCC services can be group-based or one-to-one, tailored to individual needs, providing personalized support for skill development and community engagement. Through these efforts, we help participants build essential life skills and meaningful connections within their communities.
Self-advocacy is a learned skill in which Team MattRaeGo demonstrates and supports throughout our time together. Self-advocacy is particularly important for those with differences as it is an essential piece to a strong sense of self worth and esteem.
Supported Employment services are crucial for individuals with disabilities or intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) seeking competitive employment. These services offer comprehensive support, helping participants excel in regular work environments by providing necessary assistance and accommodations. Starting with assessing vocational interests and skills, Supported Employment services aid in job development and finding suitable opportunities. Participants engage with non-disabled individuals in workplace settings, fostering inclusivity. These services are adaptable across various industries, empowering individuals to pursue their career goals and contribute meaningfully to the workforce, promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.
Vocational Evaluation in Supported Employment offers a thorough assessment process to understand individual needs, capabilities, and barriers to employment. Through Career Assessments, we explore aspects like physical and emotional limitations, education, and strengths. We prioritize direct input from participants, encouraging open dialogue to tailor support effectively. We observe problem-solving approaches, communication styles, and collaboration preferences to grasp their work style. Evaluations can be virtual or in-person, ensuring accessibility. We aim to create a supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences and aspirations, guiding them toward fulfilling employment opportunities.
Our organization prioritizes cultural understanding and personalized services for each participant. We aim for optimal outcomes through teamwork and collaboration while teaching valuable conflict resolution skills to navigate challenges effectively. By embracing diversity and fostering collaboration, we empower individuals to succeed personally and professionally.
Prevocational Services prepares individuals for paid employment by teaching fundamental workplace principles like compliance, attendance, problem-solving, and safety. These services focus on strength goals rather than immediate job placement, ensuring a dedicated learning environment separate from home. Stress management training equips participants with coping techniques, while critical thinking skills foster proactive problem-solving. Relationship-building training emphasizes interpersonal skills and customer service etiquette, enhancing participants' ability to succeed in their careers. By integrating these components, participants gain the skills needed for long-term success in the workforce.
Our organization is committed to ensuring individuals with disabilities have equal access and opportunities in services, employment, education, and transportation. We work collaboratively with participants and employers to create inclusive environments. This includes advocating for accessible services, promoting inclusive hiring practices, supporting educational opportunities, and advocating for accessible transportation. Through partnerships, we've successfully implemented inclusive initiatives in the workplace, fostering environments that celebrate diversity and value everyone's contributions. Our commitment to equal access and inclusion goes beyond meeting regulations; it's fundamental to creating a fairer, more inclusive society for all.
