Community Vision’s Employment Connections Program provides customized support for people with disabilities seeking meaningful employment. The program helps businesses fulfill labor needs while helping people gain valuable experience and skills necessary to achieve financial stability, work within their community, and make a difference in the lives of others.
Community Vision staff works with job seekers to assess their skills, preferences and goals, and determine their ideal work environment. They also work closely with business partners to create jobs that fulfill specific needs suited to the skills of the employee. All placement and job training services are provided cost-free to their business partners. These include:
- Job Analysis: Community Vision works with businesses to clearly define a position and its responsibilities, skills needed, and expectations of quality and production.
- On-the-Job Training: An experienced job trainer provides on-site training until the new employee meets the employer’s standards. The trainer also works with supervisors and co-workers to develop effective support strategies.
- Systematic Evaluation: Community Vision follows up with the employer as needed to ensure that the employee’s performance is meeting company standards.
- Additional Training and Follow-Up: At the employer’s request, Community Vision can expand or refine job duties. A job trainer provides additional training to the employee, as well as ongoing support to both employee and employer.
