JobPath
Overview
Job Path supports autistic people and people with developmental disabilities as they make choices about their lives and play valued roles in their communities. Job Path encourages people to explore what they want out of life and to chart their own journeys. Whether it’s finding a job, making a contribution in a volunteer role, establishing a home, or being part of the community, the goal is to assist the person to lead a full and active life. Job Path’s Supported Employment program is seeking an energetic and creative person to work with participants and customize jobs for the people we support, which includes autistic people and adults with developmental disabilities.
