Employment Support
Creating pathways to competitive integrated employment through skill development, job exploration, and workplace support.
Pathways to Meaningful Work
Competitive integrated employment is one of the six CPS outcome domains and a central focus of ODP's service framework. At Covenant Partners Care, we believe that every individual has the potential to contribute meaningfully in the workplace.
Our employment support services build on the prevocational foundation to help individuals explore career interests, develop job-specific skills, and connect with employers in the community. We focus on competitive, integrated settings — real jobs, real wages, real workplaces.
Everything we do under employment support ladders up to ODP's core expectation: that individuals have the opportunity to seek employment and work in competitive integrated settings. This means community-based workplaces where people with and without disabilities work side by side.
We work closely with local employers, vocational rehabilitation services, and the ISP team to ensure that employment goals are realistic, achievable, and aligned with each individual's interests and abilities.
