Employer Incentives
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.
Day Services
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.
