Licensed Employment Services
MRCI offers a variety of person-centered programs to assist individuals in finding and keeping a job in their community. At the core of these services is the desire to provide individualized services that meet the specific needs and wishes of the individual.
Rather than move people through "programs", MRCI provides an array of specific service options:
EMPLOYMENT EXPLORATION
Services that help a person with disabilities decide if they want to work in competitive, community- integrated employment.
Employment Exploration activities are often the first step in finding a career. These experiences strengthen a person’s knowledge, interests and preferences so he/ she can make informed decisions. Some of the activities provided through MRCI’s Employment Exploration include:
• Job tours
• Informational interviews
• Community tours
• Career speakers
EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT
Individualized services offered through MRCI are designed to help a person achieve competitive, integrated employment, become self-employed or establish a micro- enterprise business in his/her community.
In addition, Employment Development services can help you strengthen your skills through activities such as:
• Resume writing
• Career interest inventories
• Attending job fairs
• Preparing for interviews
• Soft skill development
EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT
Support services help people with disabilities maintain paid employment in community- business settings, while allowing them to continue developing the skills to pursue additional career goals. Employment Support is available to individuals who are new hires or long-standing employees. Resources include:
• Continuous skill development (leadership, soft skills, technology)
• Employer education on numerous topics including disability awareness
TRANSPORTATION
By traveling more than 700,000 miles a year, MRCI is committed to overcoming the barriers that individuals with disabilities face to get home, to work and engage in the community. We are committed to exploring all options to get you on the road to success.
