Our Services
Career Exploration
Many individuals start their search for employment without direction. In order to help blaze a trail for our clients’ vocational goals, we often start with Career Exploration. This service allows us to work one-on-one with our clients to explore possible opportunities for them to pursue once they actively enter the job hunt.
Supported Employment
We place a strong emphasis on community integration and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Our organization boasts a staff with a diverse range of experience and exposure. We work with many employers across most industries throughout the Portland Metro Area. Our Supported Employment program is designed to help everyone from start to retirement.
Discovery
Discovery is designed for our clients who experience significant barriers to employment. This service covers a 90-day, four-phase vocational rehabilitation (VR) process that helps prepare our clients for the VR process at completion. Our experienced job coaches work one-on-one with our clients to develop a profile that will carry with them throughout their VR process.
