Supported Employment

Supported Employment services are designed for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities who are interested in working in the community. The focus for participants is not only on achieving employment, but also acquiring the skills to become productive and valuable employees.

Services include customized vocational training, job-search and interviewing skills, employment support and advocacy. We work with participants to identify areas of vocational interest and establish an individualized plan to obtain, and maintain, employment in their area of interest. In addition, we help businesses in the community to understand our participants and use best practices in working with people with disabilities. Ultimately, we build bridges and long-lasting relationships between employers and adults with disabilities.

You can see our network of employers listed on our Partner page. If you are an employer interested in learning about how you can hire and work with individuals with disabilities, visit our Get Involved page for additional information.

If you are an employer interested in learning about how you can hire and work with individuals with disabilities, please email SupportiveEmployment@CSSservices.org to speak with a CSS staff person. Please include your name and a phone number or email for your response.
