Established in 1978, Job Path helps people with developmental disabilities find and excel in mainstream jobs. We were the first agency in New York State to demonstrate a viable alternative to placing people with disabilities in sheltered day programs.
We offer much more than a typical placement service. Job Path's employment team personalizes a plan for the employer and the potential employee. Then we provide on-site support tailored to meet the needs of both. Unlike a placement service, we will even return months or years later to help someone we've placed take on new responsibilities or adapt to a changing work environment.
Our focus is on making the best fit for both the employee and the employer. Once a job is identified we provide intensive support to help new employees adjust and learn quickly. Our training consultants provide on-site support as employees learn required tasks and respond to increasing demands. We also show your staff, particularly managers, how to encourage the employee's best work.
You'll get a hard working, trained, motivated employee -- someone who is more likely than most entry-level workers to meet your expectations and less likely to quit prematurely. In addition, Job Path staff is available whenever needed.
Mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy are some common developmental disabilities. People with developmental disabilities may learn at a slower rate, have physical challenges, or have difficulty communicating. But with guidance and support, they can excel in the work environment.
We've placed people in a wide variety of large and small companies and nonprofit organizations. While many of our participants are working as food service employees, maintenance workers, messengers, mailroom and stock clerks, and administrative assistants, we can work with you to create any job that meets your needs.
We encourage employers to set up a trial work period, which is a good faith effort on your part and on ours to make a placement succeed. It allows you to delay making a formal commitment and assuming personnel responsibilities until you know the person better. Much like a temporary agency, we bill you for the person's labor. You can also hire the person immediately. If neither choice appeals, you can partner with Job Path by providing a paid internship for one of our participants.
Call us. We'll meet with you to review your needs and arrange for you to meet a member of the Job Path employment team.
