Customized Employment is a strategy that provides persons with significant barriers to employment, with an alternative to traditional, competitive jobs. Customized Employment relies on a negotiated job development strategy rather than applying for competitive positions. This approach shifts the focus on a person fitting into an existing job and instead developing a customized position that fits an individual's unique skills and support needs. This workshop will provide an overview of proven customized employment strategies including Discovery to Customized Employment Planning, Employere Engagement and Individual Job Negotiation. Those who attend are approved for CRC Credit.
