5. Barrier Reduction & Work-Life Management

Identify and address barriers to employment including, but not limited to, transportation, childcare, professional attire, interview confidence, and housing instability.
Connect job seekers to community resources, financial assistance programs, and wrap-around supports that promote stability and work readiness.
Provide coaching and skill-building in areas such as workplace communication, time management, and professional conduct.
Support individuals in building self-advocacy skills to independently navigate their employment journey over time.

6. Multidisciplinary Team Collaboration

Function as the employment services subject matter expert within an integrated team of clinicians, VR counselors, case managers, and social workers.
Participate actively in team meetings, case conferences, and collaborative goal-setting to ensure coordinated service delivery.
