How We Can Help
Career Exploration and Planning
Not everyone knows exactly what type of job they want. We can help you explore careers, identify your interests and strengths, understand different workplace environments, and select realistic employment goals.
Résumés and Cover Letters
We help you create or update a professional résumé that presents your experience, education, skills, certifications, volunteer work, and accomplishments. We can also prepare a cover letter for positions that interest you.
Job Searching and Applications
Your job developer can help you locate openings, understand job descriptions, organize application information, and complete applications. We focus on positions that match your goals, qualifications, availability, transportation, and support needs.
Interview Preparation
We help you prepare answers to common interview questions, practice describing your experience, select questions to ask the employer, and understand what to expect during an interview.
Employer Connections
Our team communicates with employers to learn about available positions and workplace expectations. When an opportunity is appropriate, we can help coordinate communication and interviews.
Workplace-Readiness Training
We can help you strengthen skills such as communication, teamwork, attendance, time management, problem-solving, professional behavior, and responding to feedback.
Job Coaching and Workplace Support
Some individuals benefit from additional help learning job duties or adjusting to a new workplace. When authorized, a job coach may provide hands-on instruction, task organization, workplace communication support, and assistance understanding employer expectations.

Starting a job is an important accomplishment. Retention services provide continued support as you adjust to your schedule, responsibilities, supervisor, coworkers, transportation, and workplace expectations.
