Supported Employment Quality Features Guide

WINTAC, along with a wide variety of stakeholders with extensive supported employment experience developed the attached “Supported Employment Quality Features” document to identify and describe high quality features of supported employment as a guide for the universal application of these features across service delivery and training providers. 

The core features of quality supported employment services are organized in five sections:

  1. Overview of Supported Employment
  2. Career Planning
  3. Marketing and Individualized Job Development
  4. Job Site Training and Supports
  5. Ongoing Supports

Contributors:

A wide variety of stakeholders with extensive supported employment experience from WINTAC, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Y-TAC, Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), Marc Gold & Associates, Griffin-Hammis Associates, the Association of Community Rehabilitation Educators (ACRE), the National Disability Institute, LEAD Center, and APSE worked in collaboration over a six month period to develop a document to identify the core quality features of supported employment as a guide for the universal application of these features across service delivery and training providers.
