What EMPLOYMENT SERVICES DO WE OFFER?

Benefits Planning and Counseling – Integrating Supports Colorado provides personalized benefits counseling with a certified Community Partner Work Incentive Coordinator (CPWIC) so SSI/SSDI beneficiaries can make informed decisions about returning to work and how to become financially stable while not depending on your benefits.  Our counselors provide beneficiaries with the peace of mind needed to pursue their employment goals.

Career Planning – At ISC we assist individuals to gain an insight into their careers. Career planning occurs when you aren’t sure what you want to do, and what kinds of careers would be best for you. Here at ISC we start by utilizing your current strengths and experiences.

Career Development – Career development is a process that fits the situation where you may already have a job or career, and wish to progress, or develop THAT career, increasing your earning and financial power within the career choice (as a whole, not just work within an organization) in order to advance forward, toward the desired future.

Job coaching – Supporting an individual with a disability in finding “real work for real pay”, while also providing valuable services to businesses. A job coach has two customers: the individual with a disability and the employer who will hire the job seeker. These two roles require unique and different skills. A job coach must have the ability to represent the job seeker as a valuable asset to businesses while also being able to identify and facilitate the necessary supports for the individual to become a successful employee.
