Some people don’t fit neatly into a standard job description—and that’s not a flaw, it’s an opportunity. Customized Employment is about designing work that matches a person’s strengths while solving real needs for local businesses.
Who This Service Is For
- Individuals whose abilities or support needs don’t align with “off-the-shelf” job postings.
- People who thrive when tasks are clearly defined, predictable, and tailored.
- Employers who are open-minded, creative, and ready to think differently about roles.
What Customized Employment Looks Like
- Discovery: We spend intentional time getting to know the person, their routines, strengths, interests, and ideal environment.
- Job Carving: We work with an employer to carve out tasks from existing roles that fit the individual’s strengths.
- Job Creation: Sometimes a brand-new position is created to solve a persistent problem or backlog of tasks.
- Natural Supports & Accommodations: We help set up supports that actually work on the ground—not just on paper.
Our Process
- Meet & Discover: We learn who you are beyond the paperwork. What drains you? What lights you up?
- Map Strengths to Business Needs: We connect with local employers to identify tasks, gaps, and opportunities.
- Design the Role: We propose a customized position that benefits both the employer and the individual.
- Hire & Support: Once the role is agreed upon, we support onboarding, training, and stabilization.
- Refine Over Time: Roles can evolve as confidence grows and the business changes.
Why Employers Love Customized Employment
- Unfinished or repetitive tasks finally get done consistently.
- Existing staff are freed up to focus on their primary responsibilities.
- Retention improves when people are matched to roles that fit their strengths.
- Businesses gain a reputation for inclusion and community impact.
