Supported Employment
Supported Employment is a raging fire as it’s burned a passion into our souls to strive for employment for anyone, anyplace, anytime. It lights up our imagination with promises and potentials unmet. It is the intuitive energy of listening to someone during a Vocational Profile Process and really understanding the work and employment dreams of another person.
Supported Employment is networking, marketing, and negotiating with the business world for profitable and exciting employment partnerships. Supportive Employment is searching the workplace for the clue of future jobs, carving possibilities and ideas. It’s engaging workers, co-workers and supervisors to be their best. It’s the timing of knowing when to assist and when to create time and space for natural events and relationships to occur.
The challenge is to raise Our Expectations beyond the world of Employment! However, the only real challenge is in our own beliefs and expectations. Employers are interested in hiring employees who own substantial employment related resources, forming limited partnerships, and supporting sole proprietorships with people of similar interests and dreams.
We need to believe that all of the options in the business world are possible for people with disabilities, and that we have to act on these beliefs. Acting on those beliefs makes it possible to achieve employment for anyone, anyplace, and anytime. Taking action opens new worlds and options for people to become partners in businesses, sole proprietors, and employees with ownership of vital business resources by creating paid work and profits from the needs of the business and economic culture in each community.
