Supported Employment (SE)

We offer a mobile and community-based Supported Employment (SE) service that provides assistance to all qualified individuals in their selection, attainment, and retention of integrated employment. Professional career counselors provide vocational assessments, career counseling, job search assistance, job skill training, and long term follow-up support. Individuals work one-on-one with their own employment consultant to strengthen job-related skills, prepare for the application/interview process, master the essential functions of the job, and learn how to stay employed.

“Four years ago, I didn’t think I would ever be in a position where I felt confident enough to want to branch out and work in the community, but once I finally decided I wanted to, my counselor was able to help me find my desired job in 6 weeks. Having the opportunity to get out of the workshop and be able to give back to my community is a blessing, especially knowing that I have the support of the staff and my peers from Jersey Cape. For anyone who doesn’t think they can be successful in getting a job, think again.” (actual quote from one of our participants)
