How It Works
Job Analysis
Living Opportunities works with you to identify tasks within your business that will become the job for the Living Opportunities candidate. The result will be a comprehensive job description that meets your expectations.
Applicant Screening
Job candidates who enter into Living Opportunities’ Supported Employment Services are involved in varied and in-depth work experiences that are based on the individual’s interests and skill sets. This allows us to match your company with a qualified and effective employee who will enjoy being a productive member of your team.
On The Job Training
Our qualified Supported Employment Specialists will first learn the job duties themselves, per your requirements. These mentors then provide complete training for the candidate until the new employee meets your standards and is able to be successful on their own.
Ongoing Training & Support
Continuous training, support and follow-up by our Employment Specialists team are included in our services, at no cost to your business. We will work to assure that the employee’s job performance is maintained. At your request, we can also expand and refine specific job duties.
