Many employers who have hired workers with disabilities say they are hard working, efficient, loyal and productive employees. Through this program, students with disabilities enter the labor market with the assistance of a job coach and earn competitive wages and the support they need to sustain competitive jobs. Students work 20 hours or more per week with a job coach. A job coach is provided at no fee to the employer until the job is learned. As the need for a job coach diminishes, additional long-term employer assistance is provided by a follow-along specialist who regularly visits the job site and helps the worker maintain success on the job.
