Supported Employment
JCDS has partnered with several businesses within our community to provide supported work crews at these business locations. A supported work crew is a group of individuals that act as a team to complete production work.
The Supported Employment work crew is supervised by an Employment Coach provided by JCDS and by the business itself. Being a part of a work crew is a good opportunity to get some hands-on work experience at a community business with the support of a JCDS Employment Coach.
Work crew employees are paid minimum wage or higher.
Most crews work between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., but hours can vary.

Supported Worksite employees must be 18 years of age or older and eligible through the Community Developmental Disabilities Organization (CDDO).

Opportunities at Supported Worksites are determined by availability and are not guaranteed.
