our approach
Self-Reliant Employment Support Service’s focus is on the participant’s “person-centered-plan”. The goal is to ensure that the individual’s objectives and goals are clear and that the steps in the process have the best chance of resulting in successful outcomes. The participant’s “person-centered-planning” process empowers the individual, promotes self-reflection, personal insight, creativity, and allows for a wide range of possibilities.
Welcome to Self-Reliant Employment Support Services. We support participants in accessing their communities and engaging in inclusive, integrated activities while in their natural settings. Our “Skills Guidance Coaches” will provide support to our participants in targeting their career desires as it pertains to post-secondary education, micro-business, employment, and leading an integrated and inclusionary life.
