Each consumer has the support of a team of professionals. Working together, the consumer and team design a program unique to that consumer, then set and strive to reach mutually agreed-upon goals.

 

Career Resource Specialist

The Career Resource Specialist (CRS) is the key contact person working directly with the consumer. They work with consumers to assess their skills, to prepare them for work (and careers), and to propose jobs that match the consumer’s qualifications and needs. They also provide on-going technical assistance to co-workers. New consumers are encouraged to select the CRS of their choice; the CRS, the consumer, and family then set goals and ways to meet them. As the consumer is preparing to take on a job, the CRS lays groundwork at the work site, training both the employer and future employee, consulting, and building relationships with the company

Our Career Resource Specialists also identify employment opportunities for Work Opportunities Unlimited consumers, then work with key players at the business to help meet the specific needs of those in supported employment positions. They train supervisors and co-workers, and carry out long-term quality control checks with employers.
