How You'll Make a Difference:

  • Coach and support interns by teaching soft skills such as professional communication, behavior and grooming/hygiene, and hard skills specific to the internship duties.
  • Provide individualized support for interns, including job coaching, building natural supports, identifying job accommodations, and use of assistive technology.
  • Collaborate with interns, employers, staff, and other partners to creatively address any issues affecting students' training and employment.
  • Lead classroom discussions on a variety of employment-related skills.
  • Write case notes, monthly student evaluations, and other reports regularly.

What We're Looking For:

  • Patience, compassion, and the ability to interact with individuals with disabilities, their family members, community partners, and others in a positive and constructive manner.
  • Previous experience working with individuals with disabilities or disadvantages is desirable.
  • Experience teaching, coaching or training others is desirable.
  • Culturally aware, acknowledges diverse employee backgrounds, possesses skills to collaborate across cultures, and avoids biased assumptions based on cultural differences

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status, and we offer reasonable accommodations to support successful employment to those with disabilities.
