Our Employment program allows our young adults to gain training and job experience in a setting that is selected based on their interests and abilities. All levels (Centered Based, Group Supported & Individual) are supported with a Milemarkers Job Coach who works closely with the member, the member’s family, and support coordinator, thus ensuring the best possible support for the member’s success.

Group Supported Employment (GSE)

This service provides long-term, ongoing support services for an employed individual. GSE provides members with an on-site supervised work environment in a community employment setting. Members are paid by Milemarkers for work performed in accordance with State and Federal law. Members work in a group with a job coach on one of Milemarkers contracted locations to provide services such as landscape maintenance, janitorial services, restaurant services or laundry services.

This program provides an understanding of the workforce culture and allows individuals with developmental disabilities to gain non-task related skills and behaviors that will help them in adult life, after school ends.
