Narrative
Job seekers are provided both training and assistance with résumé design and interviewing skills. The job developers take an active role in the interviewing process when communication challenges exist but only to the extent necessary. Once a job is found and accepted by an individual the employment specialist’s role begins.
The Arc offers a spectrum of employment services to cater to the diverse population we support. Our group employment sites allow individuals who require ongoing, consistent support to make meaningful contributions to the workforce. Staff support a small group of individuals at community-based, integrated worksites to provide an array of services.
