Supported Employment

People with developmental and other disabilities can get help matching their interests, skills and talents with jobs in the community through our Supported Employment program.

Our staff offers a variety of short- and long-term supports, including assessment, hands-on job coaching and advocacy with employers. Positions range from manufacturing to food service to retail and clerical.

In fact, we maintain a couple of our own businesses:

The Arc's Auto Detail Shop provides professional car, truck and boat cleaning services. People learn specialized skills and customer service techniques.

The Arc’s Mobile Cleaning Crew provides outstanding custodial services to area businesses. Our contracts provide skills training that helps prepare individuals with disabilities for competitive employment.

The Arc’s Orleans Enterprises provides a number of assembly and packaging services, from books and manuals to electronics and machine parts.

Job placement is also available for people re-¬entering the work force after an injury or an illness. Our staff works with participants on assessment, job placement and job retention.
