RISE EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS

Our network of passionate Employment Specialists can help adults with developmental disabilities through every step of the employment process. Employment Specialists who are State ACRE trained and certified help adults search for appropriate, meaningful work. They also help in resume creation, interview prep, and on-the-job coaching and support.

These caring and compassionate individuals utilize our employment programs to help adults with disabilities find valuable employment based on their skills, abilities, and interests.

  • Supported Job-Based Training provides short-term support that helps our members find and be trained at a stable job.
  • Supported Employment offers hands-on, daily support for adults with more severe disabilities.
  • Customized Employment uses flexible strategies, services, and supports to increase employment options for job seekers.
  • Training & Coaching provides both new hire assistance and on-going job coaching when a disabled adult finds suitable employment.
  • Life Skills Restoration prepares our members for employment by providing valuable life skills training that will help them find and maintain meaningful long-term employment.

At RISE, we understand the perceived risk of hiring someone with a complex life situation. Certain incentives are available for employers who want to hire, train, and employ these employees.

  • The On-The-Job Training program will reimburse up to half of the wages in the first six months to help alleviate the extra costs associated with training an adult with developmental disabilities.
  • The Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Targeted Tax Credit offers yearly tax credits for employers who hire adults with developmental disabilities.
  • The Felon Bonding Program offers fidelity bonding insurance coverage to individuals with criminal histories and other high-risk job applicants who are qualified but fail to get jobs because regular commercial bonding is denied due to their backgrounds.

We teach skills that lead to independent living. While our members do not have to be enrolled in our Day Services to take advantage of our Employment Services, they may find this program helpful for building other valuable life skills. Through our Day Services, adults with developmental disabilities are able to discover and foster their personal passions within a supportive community. The goal of this program is to:

  • Help individuals develop useful work skills.
  • Assist adults in finding creative hobbies and fun activities they enjoy.
  • Help them become involved within their community.

Yes, RISE Services, Inc. is a frequent partner with the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR) and the Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD). We provide “Supported Employment” services funded through these agencies to ensure that cost is not a barrier for individuals looking to join the workforce. If you are working with a Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselor, you can request RISE as your preferred service provider.

A RISE Job Coach provides one-on-one support to an individual at their place of employment. This includes help with on-the-job training, learning new tasks, navigating workplace social dynamics, and communicating with supervisors. As the employee becomes more comfortable and independent in their role, the Job Coach gradually “fades” their support, ensuring the individual is successful while building long-term autonomy.

We make it easy for local businesses to build a diverse and inclusive workforce. RISE matches employers with pre-screened, motivated candidates who are ready to work. Our Job Coaches provide initial training at no cost to the employer and offer ongoing support to ensure the partnership is a success. Hiring through RISE not only fills vital roles in your company but also fosters a culture of inclusion, proving that we truly are Creating Opportunities for and with People.

Discovery is a person-centered assessment process used to identify an individual’s unique strengths, interests, and ideal working conditions. Instead of a traditional interview, we spend time with the individual in various community settings to see where they naturally excel. This information allows RISE to customize a job search that leads to a long-term, successful employment match rather than just any open position.
