A job coach is a professional who helps people with intellectual disabilities find and maintain employment. They work one-on-one with their clients to help them develop the skills they need to be successful in the workforce. Job coaches also assist employers in creating a supportive environment for their employees with intellectual disabilities. By providing job coaching and job development services, job coaches help people with intellectual disabilities achieve independence and become contributing members of society!
Sample Supports supported employment staff support individuals with job skills and tasks, job seeking skills development, as well as provide support in the area of interviewing. Job coaches also work with employers to ensure they are meeting the needs of their employees with intellectual disabilities.
Individuals in Sample Supports Supported Employment program through services funded by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and long term Medicaid Waivers. Job Developers typically have a degree in rehabilitation, job coaching, special education, human services or a related field and assist individuals in finding Community Integrated employment in an area that best meets their individualized employment goal.
After employment is obtained, job coaches provide as much coaching on the worksite as needed for the individual. Job coaching services are provided until the job coach and employer feel that the individual can be successful without job coaching support. The goal is for individuals to become independent and successful employees!
