When I got a job, I knew that I had taken the big step into adulthood! Helping me find a job matching my skills and interests, and also meeting the needs of an employer, was the work of ARCO’s Supported Employment Service. Now I can do many things for myself financially, and I have work friends who look after my best interests. It is a win-win for everyone!
CAREER PLANNING & SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT
FUNDING SOURCES: Louisiana Rehabilitation Services and the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities
Our Supported Employment Program starts with career planning to discover what a person wants to achieve and where their unique skills apply in a broader work scope. Working with employers whose workplace needs match the individual’s work talents, ARCO facilitates the hiring process and coaches the supported employee to learn the job, creating a win for both the supported worker and the employer.
Transportation is provided if needed.
BECOME A PARTNER TODAY!
We guide you through the process by learning about your business needs or unmet needs, identifying the skills required, and then matching you with an employee who has those specific skill sets. ARCO will also be part of your team by developing a training plan, providing onsite training, developing natural onsite supports, and conducting monthly follow-ups to make sure everything is going great!
Chase Mortgage is one of our valued partners, demonstrating how businesses can support these life-changing journeys. Through their document destruction center, they have employed several individuals with developmental disabilities. Their commitment was recently recognized with the Governor’s GOLD Award & Employer of the Year for their leadership in supported employment, showing how inclusive practices can benefit both the individual and the business.
