Employment Services
Envision Unlimited offers Day and Employment programs at seven Chicago-area locations. Employment Services place our clients in positive, team work environments where they’re given the opportunity to develop their collaboration skills as well as develop a true sense of pride and self-confidence.
Joining the workforce can be a profound moment for an individual with developmental disabilities. That’s why Envision’s Job Placement and Employment Services have helped clients choose, obtain and retain community employment with companies such as the Shedd Aquarium, The Art Institute of Chicago, Jewel-Osco and Family Dollar. Client teams also provide subcontracting solutions through production of commercial pillows for today’s transportation leaders.
Envision Unlimited utilizes the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model to help people achieve and maintain their employment and recovery goals. Individual plans are created to work with people in securing competitive employment within the community.
There are no prerequisites, requirements of previous experience, or need for pre-employment training, as skills are identified and enhanced one-on-one with individual employment specialists. The IPS model aids individuals in overcoming barriers that may prevent someone from obtaining and maintaining fulfilling employment. Within the scope of the Employment Program we provide:
- Career Profiling and Assessment
- Rapid Job Search
- Individual job coaching, on and offsite
- Job retention support
- Assistance with transportation arrangement and/or travel training
- Resume building
- Mock interviewing
- Benefits Planning
