We work with the person
Working with our client, we identify the supports that are missing, assist them to access those resources and then provide follow-up – because if someone’s personal life isn’t stable, (s)he won’t be able to succeed at work.
Beyond just assisting our clientele to “find a job,” we help them to prepare in every aspect of their lives – from basic life skills development (for example, developing social skills) to employment preparation and training. We provide job coaching, on-the-job training and follow-up support to our clientele and their employers for up to three years.
We support employers
Job Quest supports employers by offering a diversity of services both around supporting people from Job Quest (for example, job coaching) and with a focus to improve the overall workplace environment for all employees.
We create opportunities for all people to succeed in employment by proactively identifying and addressing workplace issues that contribute to employment barriers.
We educate the public
We strive to educate the public and to remove the stigma and myths surrounding disability and work.
We identify and address emerging community needs
Job Quest identifies emerging employment needs in the community and develops services, strategies and partnerships to address those needs.
