Employers (Hire People We Serve)
Help promote a sense of pride and independent growth by providing employment opportunities.
Hope Haven's Supported Employment Program Works!
"For the past 12 years, our Hope Haven employee has done an exceptional job and has been a great asset to our company."
- Renee Budgeman, Training Coordinator, Wal-Mart
Prior to partnering an employer with an employee, Hope Haven assesses the employee's needs, abilities and talents and helps them find a work setting that is mutually beneficial.
Each potential employee receives support from a Hope Haven job coach who trains them appropriately for the job.
As the employee adjusts to the work setting, the coach gradually reduces the time spent with the individual so that pride in independent workmanship can occur.
Hope Haven's staff maintains contact with the individual for the duration of employment, encouraging a high level of job performance.
