At The Arc of Fayette County, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in the workforce. Our Supported Employment program offers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to secure and succeed in meaningful, competitive employment within their communities. By working closely with businesses, job coaches, and community partners, we help bridge the gap between individuals with IDD seeking employment and employers.
What is Supported Employment?
The Supported Employment program at the Arc Fayette empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to become active, wage-earning members of the workforce. Our team provides the necessary support to help individuals not only secure jobs but excel in them, enhancing their independence and success in the workplace.
Why Hire Individuals with Disabilities?
Hiring individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can transform businesses in many ways, offering a range of benefits to include:
· Enhance Company Culture: By promoting inclusivity, businesses foster a positive and supportive work environment. Diversity in the workplace leads to a richer, more collaborative culture where all employees feel valued.
· Tax Incentives: Businesses that hire individuals with disabilities may be eligible for tax credits, offering a financial incentive while also making a significant impact on the lives of others.
· Lower Turnover Rates: With a more inclusive workplace, employees are encouraged to bring their best selves to work, fostering a sense of belonging that leads to lower turnover and a more stable, engaged workforce.
