Trillium Works!

Trillium Works! provides supported employment services to adults who are seeking employment, assistance learning job skills and/or maintaining employment in the community.  The three phases of supported employment services include:

Job Development
In this stage we identify each person's specific career path based on their employment preference.  Our development specialists provide 1 on 1 assistance with the application and interview process.

Job Site Training
Once a job is secured, our employment specialists will assess the job site and determine the support needed to succeed.  A task analysis will be developed that will provide a step by step description of job duties and employers expectations.  

Job Coaching
We provide long-term supports and training to further enhance the work experience and maximize independence.  Our job coaches provide a wide variety of supports from transportation to social functions to building on or developing new job-related skills.
