Referral – Once an individual is referred, receipt is confirmed and coordination begins with the vocational counselor to ensure a smooth transition into services.

Individualized Job Plan (IPP) – A meeting is held with the individual to develop an IPP outlining vocational goals, employment preferences, support needs, accommodations, and other key information.

Resume/Cover Letter Creation – Resumes and cover letters are ATS-optimized to highlight each individual’s strengths and experience. Both are tailored for each application to improve relevance and maximize compatibility with ATS systems.

IPP Review with State Counselor – The completed IPP is reviewed with all parties to ensure agreement on employment goals and services before job search activities begin.

Job Development – Job opportunities are identified based on the individual’s abilities, interests, experience, and geographic preferences. This includes targeted employer research, proactive outreach, and strategic job matching—not just online applications. We work closely with each individual throughout the job development process.

Employer Outreach – Employer outreach is customized to each individual’s needs and job search strategy. Depending on the situation, we may contact employers directly or assist the individual with professional outreach, including guidance on emails, phone calls, and follow-up communication.

Interview Support – Interview preparation is provided before interviews, including reviewing the position, researching the employer, practicing common interview questions, and discussing strategies for making a positive impression.

Ongoing Support & Communication – Following job placement, support continues through regular check-ins, assistance with workplace concerns, and ongoing communication with vocational counselors to help promote long-term job retention and success.
