Frequently asked questions
Do you find jobs in any industry?
We work across many industries — retail, food service, office support, manufacturing, hospitality, and more. The match depends on the person's interests and the local market.
What if a job doesn't work out?
We help find the next fit. Employment journeys often include trying a few different roles, and that's normal.
Is there a wage requirement?
Supported Employment Services aim for competitive, integrated employment at real wages, not subminimum-wage settings.
