Job Coaching and Transitional Employment Services
Easter Seals NH offers additional on-the-job training and support to individuals who require assistance in learning job skills and/or adjusting to work environments and demands. Job Coaches work with customers at the work setting and “fade out” as the worker masters his/her job duties and demands. Easter Seals NH also provides on-the-job support for individuals who require ongoing assistance, through our Community-Based Services division.
School-to-Work Programming
School-to-Work Programming is provided by Easter Seals Skills Instructors who work with special needs students whose Individual Education Plan includes a community-based component. The student, school personnel, family, and other team members select specific services and areas to be addressed, including community access/integration and employment and job training services.
Vocational Rehabilitation Case Management
Through its Manchester, NH-based “Return to Work” program, Easter Seals Vocational Services division provides vocational case management to injured workers receiving worker’s compensation.
