Job Coach (Part-time)

Our Achieve Employment program partners with local businesses to give people with disabilities opportunities to gain work experience, explore career opportunities, build a resume, maintain employment, or change their mind and want to try a new job path. The reward comes in seeing the outcome of the person’s hard work and how proud they are of obtaining employment in their community.

The Employment Coach does not provide the on-the-job training. The employer would do that. We provide on-site coaching and assistance as needed. The Employment Coaches do not do any type of job development-that is the role of the job developer.
