Community Employment Services focuses on helping people with disabilities and other barriers to successfully be employed in the community. This includes evaluation and screening, job readiness activities, job development, job placement and support services to retain jobs.

There are two major components of Community Employment Services:

1. Supported Employment and Job Placement are available for persons with disabilities who are referred from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. A job coach assists the person by developing an appropriate work site; providing one-on-one training until the person can perform tasks independently; and providing follow along services which will enable the person to retain long-term employment. 

2. The IMPACT program provides assistance to persons seeking employment to attain self-sufficiency. Referrals for the program are received from the Office of Family and Children. The IMPACT program helps people help themselves by focusing on achieving the skills necessary to obtain and retain employment; development of sufficient supportive services to meet the needs of the individual; and job placement that will provide self-sufficiency and personal dignity.
