Principles of Supported Employment
Supported Employment empowers people to make their own choices about their employment journey. People receive support from certified professionals in finding and negotiating jobs that align with their strengths, interests, and employment preferences. Supported Employment promotes Employment First principles.
Competitive, Integrated Employment
People with disabilities earn fair wages, experience full inclusion in the workplace, and have the opportunity to advance their career, just like everyone else.
Employment is for Everyone
Zero exclusion is the belief that everyone has valuable contributions to offer the workforce. Everyone has access to supported employment services.
Person-Centered Planning
Person-centered career planning ensures each career seeker has agency in their pathway to employment. Self-determination and advocacy are vital as each person directs their employment journey.
