Supported Employment services include: job coaching, counseling, advocacy, referral and follow-along services. Services are available to the individual and employer for an indefinite period of time. Individual and small group employment opportunities are available. We match participant skills with employer needs.  Our participants are currently working in the fields of: manufacturing, retail, hospitality, medical transport, food service and much more.

Intense job coaching provided by an Employment Specialist helps a participant to learn the skills of their new job, to develop strategies that will aid them during this learning process and to insure that the individual has a clear understanding of the employer’s expectations. As the new employee and the employer become more comfortable with the individual's ability to perform their job assignment, the Employment Specialist will fade and begin offering follow-along services. Follow-along services include visits to the worker and employer at least twice monthly. Counseling, job coaching or advocating for additional hours or advancement are all part of Abbey Industries follow-along services.
