Supported Employment & Training Programs

Through a variety of programs and businesses, we support clients as they develop skills related to increased independence and enhanced community integration.

Our staff team will assist clients in identifying individual vocational goals related to paid employment, volunteer placements and improved quality of life.

SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

Our Supported Employment Program works with individuals who are interested in paid community employment or volunteering and who can work completely independently in the community following a period of Job Coach support.

THE NEXT STEP

The focus of this youth employment program is to work with each person to develop a vocational way forward centered on their individual employment plan. It is our objective to bridge the gap between high school graduation and paid employment support for young adults who seek our services.

Please contact our Manager, Supported Employment Programs at c.mcdonald@easterseals.ns.ca or 902-455-9044 ext.240 to set up a time to meet with our employment team to discuss how we can help you increase your community involvement and enhance your independence.
