Adelante Employment Services functions an employment agency for people with disabilities. A staff of employment specialists and job coaches help people develop job skills, write a resume, interview for jobs, and, once the person finds employment, provides training on that specific job.

Employment Services staff contacts local businesses to find what jobs are available and help people interview and get a job. The service does not end once a job is attained. The job coach can help with training and orientation, and follows up with the employer to make sure things continue to run smoothly. If the scope of a job changes, Adelante staff will return to the place of employment to provide more training.

For students, the agency provides a School to Work Transition Program that helps people in special education programs move from the school environment to the adult working world.

Adelante has helped people find a variety of jobs in their area of interest. We have placed people as sales clerks, film operators, car detailers, pet groomer's aides, day care workers, delivery drivers, and many other jobs. Adelante Employment Services works with new people every month and finds hundreds of people jobs every year. The program’s success is important in helping people with disabilities progress toward greater independence and inclusion in the community.
