Let’s Chat: Customized Employment [Video]

Watch our conversation with Tora Phelps, Employment Coordinator for The Arc of East Central Iowa. Tora shares information on the Customized Employment program available in select states, benefits for individuals and businesses to participate, how individuals can get started, and why business should hire people with disabilities.

Customized Employment is a person-centered approach designed for employment seekers with significant disabilities and barriers to employment. Determination is based on strengths, needs, interest of the employment seeker, and building a relationship for the employee and employers to meet the needs of both parties.
