Employment Services
How We Do It:
At Supernova Services, our unique philosophy meets individuals where they are in their search for employment. From first time job seekers to long term employees just needing a little help to get back on track, we can help. By utilizing our connections and community we are able to offer individuals a program like no other. Our community sites are used as training grounds for individuals looking to try a variety of employment types. From basic janitorial to in-depth landscaping and everything in between, we have an opportunity.
Small Group Employment
All projects are community-based with regular interactions with the community at large; working alongside local police, business owners and members of the general public gives our individuals the opportunity to interact and build the secondary work skills necessary for lasting employment. While the Employment Specialist will assist you in mastering the hard skills needed for Community Employment, they are also alongside to help navigate the sometimes tricky daily interactions between co-workers and members of the community.
While rotating through different work opportunities, our Specialists are documenting your specific skills, interests, wants, likes and anything that we may need to work on before starting the search for the right job for you. Regular team meetings are held to discuss progress in all areas and assure a comfort level to begin working on the next phase.
We believe that the path to employment is a NO FAIL process. Being comfortable moving along the continuum is part of our success. Matching skills and interest with the perfect level of support leads to successful long-term opportunities. Since every job is its own personal project, we are here if something doesn’t work out.
Job Development
Our Specialists will work with you one on one to begin formulating a plan to help you find your job in the community. Each person that receives this service will have a profile built for them by the Specialist that will help outline the desired job match. From there the specialist will begin looking in the community for a business that meets your needs. Specialists and business owners regularly negotiate job duties to customize the position, making sure it is the right fit.
Supported Employment
Once you have found the right position, our Employment Specialists will attend work shifts with the individual. This assures the employer, individual and support team that the expectations of the business, as well as the individual, are being met in real time. Fading services is a team effort and the team will meet to determine what level of supervision is needed for success. Employment Specialists will learn work tasks alongside the individual, making sure that the highest quality of service is provided to both the individual and the Employer.
Why We’re Different
Our Employment Team takes the time to determine your best fit in the Employment Process and what may be the best option for you. 1 on 1 attention from Employment Specialists helps us to learn all of your conditions for success and to find the perfect position, tailor-made just for you. We do not focus on finding jobs, we focus on finding the perfect long-term position for the folks we serve.
Our end goal is community inclusion, and we feel that Employment is a big step towards that. Our team approach focuses on community and being part of ours. Our team is always looking for ways to help the local community and get involved. We believe that by earning an income, we can become more involved in our communities, which is why all of the work we do in the program is paid. Earning a paycheck and being able to decide to spend it in your community creates a level of impactful independence that we see as second to none.
