Description:
The Customized Employment process is a flexible blend of strategies, services, and supports designed to increase employment options for job seekers with complex needs through voluntary negotiation of the employment relationship with an employer. The job seeker is the primary source of information and drives the process. Planning results in a blueprint for the job search where an employment relationship is negotiated to meet the needs of both the job seeker and the employer. Time spent engaging with the job seeker to discover the individual’s unique conditions, interests and potential contributions, as well as complexities, is essential to establishing successful employment and laying the groundwork for Customized Employment.
An essential element in Customized Employment is negotiating job duties, and employee expectations to align the skills and interests of a job seeker to the needs of an employer. Typically, an employer will be willing to consider customizing job tasks for a prospective employee if this act meets unmet needs in a way that saves money, helps make money, helps the operation run more efficiently, improves customer relations or increases safety. Customized Employment entails the voluntary negotiation of an individually tailored relationship between a job seeker and an employer.
This webinar provides an overview of Customized Employment as the first of four presentations on this topic. Subsequent webinars will provide information on the customized process, and the sequential aspects of successful facilitation of a customized job.
