Community Integrated Employment

What is the Community Integrated Employment Program?

PPCH’s Community-Integrated Employment program connects individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities with skills training and paid employment. Meaningful employment provides our clients with a measure of financial independence, fosters self-confidence, and strengthens one’s sense of belonging within the community. Work also provides opportunities for social interaction, enhanced communication skills, and the development of natural support networks.

What is offered under the CIE Program?

Current program offerings include:

  • Situational vocational assessments: This observation process is used to gain information for the work environment. General work-related tasks are performed to determine work-related strengths and necessities for paid employment.
  • Job coaching: On-the-job training support, orientation, short-term or long-term on-site coaching, and assistance with workplace etiquette and communication.
  • Work adjustment training: This training includes assessing work readiness, developing a work objective, and teaching work readiness. On-site job training for short term trial work experience is also included.
  • Job development: One-on-one support for interview preparation, resume and cover letter development, career exploration, job-seeking, application assistance, networking, and communication.
  • Work readiness classes: Readiness training supports the development of skills necessary for any job. This training helps individuals develop the confidence and motivation to find work in the community.
  • Transportation training: This training prepares individuals to navigate transportation options in the Denver metro area.
  • Customized employment: This process includes discovery, job development, and systematic instruction. Customized employment focuses on an employee’s skills, interests, and needs, identified during the discovery process.
  • Benefits counseling: This service helps individuals understand how employment will affect their federal and state benefits.

What services does CIE offer employers?

Our program provides employee recruitment, training, and retention solutions to many satisfied businesses in the Denver metro area, at no cost to the employer. We specialize in working with people with disabilities, an underemployed segment of the workforce. Each job-seeker is carefully assessed to determine their individual strengths and job aptitudes, and we match the job-seeker’s abilities to each company’s employment force needs.

PPCH will work with your business to train all candidates in the necessary duties of the position. This type of assistance is called “supported employment,” and is provided at no charge to the employing business.
