SEEK (Supporting Expanding Employment Knowledge)

If you or someone you know with a disability has the desire to explore vocational options, this might be the program for you!  SEEK offers individuals with little or no experience with community employment or a lack of understanding, opportunities which support and expand employment knowledge.  The SEEK program focuses on teaching individuals essential work skills and strengthening their work capacity to meet the challenging demands of work.  While participating in this program, individuals can expect to develop necessary and marketable skills and abilities that lead to greater opportunities for competitive community employment. 

This program offers community crews and center-based work but also gives individuals the opportunities to:

• Acquire resume building work experiences and vocational training

• Develop needed work skills and strengthen their work capacity

• Establish next steps for community employment goals

The goal of SEEK is to give individuals a mixture of real life experiences from which they can draw knowledge about integrated community employment leading to increased success during job development.

 

Person centered planning is an opportunity through which people join in intentional efforts to support, expand and deepen the direct and visible contribution individuals make to their communities.  It recognizes, embraces and celebrates the strengths, needs, dreams and desires of each individual.  This ultimately leads to individuals experiencing greater inclusion as valued members of their communities. 

DREAM and SEEK’s main foundation is ensuring that each individual has a voice in planning and developing their days and lives.  We will provide as little or as much support as each individual might need for his/her journey so that he/she can begin to imagine all of life’s possibilities.
