The Supported Employment program assists individuals as they pursue employment in the community. Job placement, on-site job training, support and supervision are all offered by Vocational & Day Services.
Trained job coaches monitor each worker's performance and serve as intermediaries with employers to help workers succeed on the job and to resolve concerns before they become workplace issues.
The Arc Montgomery County’s long-standing employment partners include Vanguard Management, Seibel’s Restaurant, Montgomery County government, and the Federal government. Some examples of work assignments include clerical duties and data entry, custodial and lawn care, commercial grounds maintenance, packaging and assembly, retail sales and support, and warehouse services.
Hours and location: Vary by position.
Transportation: Support may be provided to and from worksites.
Participants must apply to the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration for eligibility and funding approval. The Arc's Vocational & Day Services division can provide information about the application and approval process.
