Employment Services can do it all!

From assessment and testing to coaching on the job, The Rehabilitation Institute's Employment Services team diligently works to help people with disabilities find jobs and be successful. "Many of our clients are referred by Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation but others come to us by word of mouth," said Aimee Adams, Employment Services Branch Manager for the Downtown KC Office. Once the client goes through our orientation they are evaluated on their aptitude and abilities so the employment team can know where to begin with the client. Then they move to career exploration and look at careers they might not have thought of otherwise. "We then create an employment plan and set goals," said Aimee. "We help with their preparation, applying for jobs and following up with employers." Once the client gets hired, The Institute can provide on-the-job coaches. "Within 90 days of their employment we track their progress and help them retain their job," said Aimee.
