N.O.W. is an employment program for people who have barriers to finding and maintaining employment. We follow an evidence-based model called Individual Placement and Support (IPS) to help people feel empowered to make decisions and choose what their employment journey will look like.
Employment specialists take the time to listen to the desires, needs, and dreams of the person to help them find meaningful employment. N.O.W. employment specialists look at strengths and resources of each participant to help reduce perceived barriers to employment. Once a person finds employment, we develop and individualized follow-along plan with participants and guide their journey in maintaining employment.
