A clear path forward to surprising success
No one teaches you how to get a job. Instead, you’re told to just get out there and hand out resumes without any real plan. Add in a couple barriers, and that seems like a recipe for utter confusion.
The good news is: we’ve done this a thousand times before. We know the people, the hoops to jump through and the certifications you’ll need to find not just a job, but a good one.
Together, we can access resources, break down barriers and help you find your path to surprising success.
All you have to do is reach out.
One of our participants in the Reach Up program was connected with a position as a hostess and bus person. The client, who has a visual impairment, has great self awareness and gave an accurate picture to our staff regarding what she has difficulty seeing.
Since we have had exceptional experiences with a local employer and the manager does not have a one size fits all approach to training, we reached out to him. Our Job Coach gave him an understanding of what she is and isn’t able to see while highlighting that she has developed fantastic coping mechanisms.
We encouraged her to visit one evening when the manager was on site and they were both pleased with the first impressions the other made. She started working there soon after and they were quickly impressed by the initiative she showed. She is learning a lot and loving the job. The manager is thrilled with her performance and we are very happy to see her success.
