Employment Support
About this resource
The Employment Program is for individuals who are interested in exploring their potential for employment.
Lifetime Networks offers various approaches to support people in reaching their goals, including:
Customized Employment Support: We offer Customized Employment Development Services (CEDS) that combine service options to effectively support the unique needs of a job seeker. CEDS involve creating a job or self-employment opportunity that is customized to the individual needs, skills, abilities and contributions of an individual.
One-to-One Employment Supports: Our Employment Specialists will meet with you to assess your employment support needs and provide one-to-one individualized job search support. Individuals will complete a comprehensive, strengths-based discovery assessment. The assessment is a person-centred approach to understanding the individual, their strengths and abilities, as well as what supports may be necessary for their success in the workplace.
Based on the results of the discovery assessment, employment support provided to individuals may include: career cruising, unpaid work experience, customized employment development (working with employers to create a position based on the strengths and needs of the job seeker), job development (assisting individuals to pursue traditional employment opportunities and employment counseling).
Job coaching is provided for employment retention once a job placement has been secured. Days and times for some employment supports are dependent on personal choice.
