This is a unique employment model that is used primarily for people with developmental disabilities. It involves a few workers performing different aspects of the same job in a community setting with one job coach overseeing the work. This is a great transition for workers who are ready to leave the sheltered workshop but are not yet ready for supported employment. This booklet offers:
Step by step instructions on how to set up the entire program.
How to find the opportunities in the community.
How to generate interest among local employers.
How to market this service (sample brochures and letters).
Vocational programs that continually evaluate the experiences.
This booklet is a wonderful addition to agencies that have or want to start employment programs.
