Supported Employment
Supported Employment is the second component of Community Services. The program
provides supports for people with developmental disabilities to work in a job of
their choice. An extensive profile is developed to determine the skills, abilities
and desires of the individual. After generating the profile, job development is
conducted to match the needs of the individual with that of an employer. When a
job match is made, a Civitan Services Job Coach will train the person at the job
site in accordance to the specifications of the employer. This service has been
successful both nationally and in Arkansas to assist many people with severe disabilities
to gain successful or meaningful employment.
Attention Employers: We are always looking for new Host Sites around
Saline County. Our past and present sites have all found it to be a rewarding experience
and often a very beneficial one for the businesses. Please consider opening your
hearts and doors to our clients.
