Supported Employment

Employment Options

The Supported Employment program offers job matching and individual placements within the community. When an individual enters the program, a match of the client's skills to the appropriate work environment is made. Initially, a Job Coach is assigned to the individual to provide training. Clients receive on-going support as needed in order to maintain or enhance employment. Clients usually work 20 or more hours per week and earn competitive wages.

Supervised Work Teams (enclaves) are an extension of the Supported Employment program. Clients are placed in industry, in small groups with an
on-site supervisor. These clients learn and perform various jobs within Industry in a competitive employment environment. Clients enhance work and social skills to go on to Individual Placement or competitive employment. Clients are referred to enclaves from other EXCEED programs, or from outside referral sources.

BENEFITS TO YOU

Major concerns of businesses today are:
*Cost Savings

*Dependable Work Force
Hundreds of our workers have served companies throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties for over 20 years. Average time on the job is greater than the national average.

TAX SAVINGS

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) pays up to $2,400 earned in the first 12 months of employment. Our Employment Specialist would be glad to give you more details.
