The Employment Program focuses on helping individuals with barriers to employment gain. Whether it is assisting with learning, physical, or emotional challenges, Abilities Unlimited provides professional job readiness training, job placement, and job maintenance advice. Employment Counselors work with participants on various areas—job hunting, interview preparation, resume building, self-management, interactions with co-workers/supervisors, budgeting, and job maintenance.
