Honoring National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
Opengate recognizes National Disability Employment Awareness Month during October, and every day, through our commitment to helping the individuals we serve access meaningful, fulfilling employment. With our Supported Employment Program, we create opportunities that make a difference.
Supported Employment Program
We provide person-centered employment planning and support services to help individuals get hired and advance in jobs. Opengate has a team of specialized professionals who help with career exploration, resume building, application assistance, interview preparation, employment training, and communicating with employers, as well as advocating for individuals. In addition, individuals can learn with the support of a direct support professional at their place of employment until they can independently work in that job.
The goal is continued employment at or above minimum wage that meets individuals’ personal and career goals. But above all, we focus on supporting those we serve in developing potential, achieving independence, and thriving in new roles.
Learn more about our services — and how you can help support them.
