Job Development and Placement Services provides individualized ongoing support to job-seekers and to local employers. Our Employment Consultants keep current on labor market information and hiring trends to assist individuals working to obtain community employment.

Employment Consultants provide assistance and training in resume development and job-seeking skills training. This includes instruction on ways to conduct a job search, how to approach employers regarding accommodations, and how to respond to various questions throughout the employment process. Assistance with interview attire and transportation to interviews is also available.

As part of an individualized employment search, Employment Consultants offer support in contacting employers to request job modifications and discuss job re-structuring. Additionally, Employment Consultants offer retention services to individuals once employment is obtained. Retention services are intended to assist individuals with any post-employment needs such as effective time management, employee/employer communication, and securing additional community resources to ensure successful employment for individuals.

Individuals interested in our services are typically referred to us by the following agencies: Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission, Bureau of Worker's Compensation, County Boards of Developmental Disabilities, and Social Security's Ticket to Work Program.
