Supported Employment | Learning Opportunities Quality Works, Inc. Shelbina

The supported work option establishes employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the local industries on an one-person one-job basis at or above minimum wage. A job coach develops the employment site, conducts a job analysis, matches an individual to the job, trains the individual on the job until the employers standards are met, gradually fading out as the individual is more independent.
