Many CSP participants benefit from traditional job development. However, Customized Employment is for individuals with significant barriers to job searching. This approach provides a more tailored path to employment.
What Is Customized Employment?
- Discovery Process: 1:1 interviews and real-world activities to uncover skills, interests, and strengths.
- Vocational Themes: Identify patterns and areas where the participant’s abilities align with business needs.
- Informational Interviews: Explore local businesses to better understand their operations and identify potential opportunities outside of standard job listings.
- Customized Job Development: CSP collaborates with businesses to create or adapt positions that meet the needs of both the business and the individual.
Outcome: Meaningful employment that’s built on individual strengths, tailored to fit the participant, and valuable to the businesses.
