Description:

Group Supported Employment (GSE) provides participants the opportunity to work in an environment that allows for maximum interaction in the community and among various businesses, with job coaching support. GSE assists participants in developing skills, abilities and behaviors that will enable them to most fully realize their vocational aspirations and support their transition into a more independent employment setting if they desire, and helps participants maintain positive work related habits, as well as assists participants to become a part of the workforce.

A group supported employment site may have 6-8 individuals working together with one site supervisor present who helps the group meet quality and performance expectations.
