Our Employment Services team strives to connect earnest job seekers with sustainable employment opportunities at local, community-based work sites. In partnership with Colorado's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), we offer a variety of supports that aid in job skills building and professional development.
Our network of inclusive local businesses ensures the people we serve can best access meaningful work opportunities that are in alignment with their personal goals. For the people we serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Supported Employment allows for augmented support in accessible work programs. Overture's Supported Employment is available through a three-step process outlined below: Assessment, Job Development, and Job Coaching.
Our three-step process
Short Term Job Coaching – Overture assists with completing the on boarding process, ensuring the job candidate fills out all necessary paperwork (i.e. tax forms, insurance, payroll, etc.), assisting in the completion of both computer-based and physical trainings, and acting as an advocate when requested to bolster communication between the new employee and management. This includes support in determining the need for and acquiring any on-the-job accommodations.
Long Term Job Coaching – Individuals with long term needs receive the same supports outlined above, as well as continued support from the Overture Supported Employment team for as long as they need assistance. We will monitor their employment progress and step in as an added support when requested; we step back, reducing support over time as the employee in question feels our support is no longer necessary, and successful, stable employment is achieved.
