Assessment and Placement
Our vocational assessment tools help us evaluate the strengths and abilities of individual clients to ensure a good match with the right employer. Through extensive interviews, testing and skill appraisals we are able to spotlight individual talents and find a fit with the specific needs of employers.
Qualified, Pre-selected Referrals
Based on our detailed employment assessments, we refer only carefully screened applicants for a new job, and work side-by-side with employers so they are comfortable with their new employee. Our followup and ongoing monitoring ensure that the transition of a new hire is smooth and successful.
Ongoing Training and Support
Our experienced job coaches support clients and their employers by assisting with job training and workplace integration, and continue to provide ongoing support as needed to ensure our placements meet their employer’s expectations in all of their job responsibilities.
Help us put our clients to work
Our Job Developers are always looking for new work opportunities for The Arc’s clients, and encourage employers to consider this rich resource of workers whether filling a full-time need or carving out a special job of only 5 hours a week. We encourage employers to think creatively about their staffing needs and consider the benefits of adding an especially grateful, dedicated person with a disability to their team.
