Supported Community-Based Employment

EnableUtah's Employment Specialists assist participants in finding meaningful community jobs tailored to their unique abilities and specific needs. They also collaborate with participants and employers to promote success and satisfaction in the workplace.

Basic employment skills encompass essential abilities needed to secure and maintain a job. These include writing a clear and professional resume, mastering interview techniques to effectively present oneself, and accurately completing job applications. Workplace readiness involves understanding appropriate behaviors, such as professionalism, teamwork, and communication. Managing money by identifying coins and bills, budgeting, and making financial decisions is crucial, as is organizing reliable transportation and maintaining punctuality with consistent time and attendance. Together, these skills form the foundation for career success and independence, and Employment Specialists guide participants through each of these areas.

Partner businesses include IRS, Northrop Grumman, Autoliv, Darren Bideaux RV, State Office Buildings, and more! 

Community Friends are also huge supporters! Maverik, Little Caesars, Papa Murphy's, Megaplex Theatres, Texas Roadhouse, Bridge Elementary, Wing Wah Restaurant

THANKS to all our community partnerships!
