WACOSA provides a variety of job opportunities that match the skills and interests of the people we serve.  They include:

• Individual Placement includes job search and development as well as assistance to the employer in their initial job training.  Intermittent follow-along services are then provided to assist the worker in achieving successful and long-term employment.
• Work Crew provides employment at a business and consists of four workers and a WACOSA job coach.  Workers are trained to complete all or part of the job depending on their individual ability level.  This type of employment option offers a worker a job in the community with staff supervision.
• In-center work is completed at one of WACOSA’s program sites and generally includes assembly, packaging, labeling and confidential document shredding.
