Supported employment uses a “place and train” model which incorporates systematic instruction at the workplace to ensure employee success. All to often, student job placement seems more like “place and pray” - meaning instruction, use of compensatory strategies and accommodations are overlooked or not even considered as the emphasis for negotiating jobs for other students takes priority. This workshop examines a variety of methods to incorporate systematic instruction into the workplace learning and performance to improve success for the student and the employer.
