referred by the Department of Rehabilitation. In the first phase
of the program, RSNC's Employment Specialist and client develop
the Individual Service Plan (ISP). In the next phase, the Employment

The client learns interview skills, appropriate dress and other
aspects of how to get a job. The Employment Specialist then begins
the process of finding open positions. The next step is for the
client to obtain a job and begin work. Clients are monitored for
90 days after employment to ensure they keep their job.
Job
Coaching helps the client maintain their job by teaching them
what to do at work. They are coached in areas such as learning to
count money, stocking, cleaning, etc.
