Good Things Happening

 

Recently, Job Squad, Inc. acquired a new Customized Employment Grant through the State of West Virginia for Kanawha County.  We have been busy meeting other agencies in the Charleston area to work as a team in providing Customized Employment for individuals with disabilities.  There are many individuals in the community searching for employment, and Job Squad is there to help.  Through the process of Discovery, we begin working with each individual to find out who the person really is.  We observe their skills and talents in their personal environment and apply these skills and talents in an employment environment. 

 

Customized Employment individualizes the employment relationship between employees and employers in ways that meet the needs of both.  It is based on an individualized determination of the strengths, needs and interests of the person with a disability, and is also designed to meet the specific needs of the employees. Customized Employment assumes the provision of reasonable accommodations and supports necessary for the individual to perform the functions of a job that is individually negotiated and developed. 

 

Contacts are being made and appointments set in Kanawha County, West Virginia, through the services that Job Squad, Inc. provides.  Stay tuned as we begin posting pictures and information about each individual job seeker that we are working with.
