Student employees that come with a support group and financing

The Supported Employment Program
Our students make for eager and hard-working employees.  The Laboure Special Education Programs support group, which is funded by grants, trains and guides both students and workers. 

Together with the support of employers, we help our students achieve the satisfaction of employment while enabling them to give back to their community through their own labors.  We are committed to our students and their work. 

Would you consider joining the team?

The program guides you and the student employee at every step of the way to ensure that your experience as an employer is as seamless as possible.  We will make sure that our students are ready to handle their tasks. 

The program also provides the following services to its student employees and employers: 

  • Job development and job matching
  • On-going supervision and training of student employees on the job site
  • Extensive job coaching to match the needs of employers and employees
  • Travel training
  • Intervention necessitated by the employer and employee
  • Clear and consistent communications between employers and job coordinators
  • Training for new responsibilities
  • Additional employees, if necessary
