Available formats: PDF
An important component of post-school career success is accessing paid employment opportunities while in school. Inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) program staff play an integral role in supporting students in obtaining and succeeding in paid employment opportunities while enrolled. Using principles of supported employment can assist program staff in helping students identify employment that matches their skills, interests, and strengths. Implementing supported employment strategies is pivotal while working with the campus and local business community to develop employment that aligns with those skills, interests, and strengths.
The Supported Employment in College Facilitator’s Guide and Supported Employment in College online course are tools that inclusive postsecondary education program staff and collaborators can use to develop the knowledge and skills to secure and support interest-driven paid employment opportunities for students enrolled in their programs.
