* Provides Supported and Vocational Employment services for individuals with disabilities.
  • Pathway to Employment: Assists in discovery of a person's skills, interests, and abilities. Duration of the program is the lesser 278 hours or 365 days, and participants are involved in at least two vocational activities and three short vocational experiences during the program.
  • Support Employment (SEMP): Provides the supports needed to obtain and maintain paid, competitive jobs in the community at or above minimum wage. Individuals with ID/DD typically transition to SEMP after they receive supported employment services through the NYS Adult Career and Continuing Education Services-Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR), and require limited job coaching to successfully maintain their employment. Individuals also come to supported employment from programs that offer intensive training through OPWDD.
