Employment Service Delivery Tools
Written and consistent training will help employment service teams
Training Modules
Written and consistent training ensures that all team members have the same level of training, provides a reference point for team members to refer back to, and can improve team morale and effectiveness.
Employment Service Delivery Tools
Job Development
Getting to know the jobs!
Job Skills Inventory
A job description doesn’t paint the whole picture. Getting out to see the job is the most important metric in successful employment services.
GAP Analysis
The most important tool in our toolkit, which first evaluates the job match, identifies intervention strategies, becomes the employer proposal and the service plan.
Employment Counseling
Getting to know the job seeker.
Jobseeker Positive Profile
It is critical to understand how the job seekers skills, wants and needs match the jobs we are helping them meet. This is done through the Discovery process.
Job Coaching
Follow on supports.
Task Analysis w/Cue Tracking
A task analysis is developed while doing the task. This template can be used to help outline the steps of a sequence, and measure the use of cues in training.
