Employment Services

Job Development

At FCS, we help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities find employment based on the individual’s interests and needs. This is a client-centered approach that encourages the individual to choose their own employment path. This leads to greater job satisfaction and improved job performance. Our agency helps our clients with building pre-employment skills that prepare them for employment. During this process, our clients get to discover their own vocational interests and aspirations. FCS Job Coaches always strive to place a client in their preferred field if possible. Assessments help us to further develop a picture of our client’s workplace skill set. This aids us in determining the proper type of employment for our clients. Our interview preparation, job searching and resume building services can be transformative for our clients. We take the process to the next level by building upon their natural strengths and abilities.

Engagement

If a client is willing and capable, we always encourage them to engage in the job development process. They should work with their Job Coach in any way that they can. This encourages independence and serves to teach our clients skills, while also involving them in the process of job development.
