Employment Services (CARF Certified):CI Employment Services (CIES) provides assessments, job search, and retention services to individuals wanting to work in the community. CIES provided services to over 110 individuals this last program year. The following is a list of the services and a short description of each service: 1. Community Based Assessment (CBA): This is an employability assessment done in a business within the community. A CBA lasts 2-3 weeks with the employer and the CIES Employment Specialist working together to ascertain whether the client is ready for community job placement activities. CI provided 47 successful CBA's in fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. There were 65 referrals for this service. 2. Job Placement: Employment Specialists work with individual clients to design a job placement plan. This entails helping with job search, taking clients to interviews if necessary, preparing clients for interviews, weekly meetings with clients to ensure they are keeping job search logs, and holding weekly Job Clubs. A four week Job Readiness Workshop is also an option for clients. Eighteen people out of twenty-six referred for Job Placement were placed into community jobs. 3. Retention Services: Retention services are provided to people that are working. The first 90 days an Employment Specialist will help them get started on the job and assist in any way to ensure the client keeps their employment. There were 19 people referred for this service with nine people completing this service. 4. Long-Term-Follow Along (LTFA): This service is provided to employed individuals that are employed past their first 90 days. DDA funded clients are the only individuals that receive these services. In FYE 2013, six people were receiving LTFA services.
