EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Job Placement

UCP of Stanislaus County’s Employment Services Program is dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities explore career opportunities, develop workplace skills, and achieve meaningful employment within their communities.

Through personalized employment services, we support individuals in identifying their strengths, interests, and employment goals while connecting them with training, job development, and employment opportunities that promote greater independence and long-term success.

We also work closely with local businesses to build strong community partnerships and create inclusive workplaces. By partnering with UCP, employers gain access to motivated job candidates while helping expand opportunities for individuals with disabilities to contribute their skills and talents in the workforce.

Together, we are strengthening our community, fostering inclusion, and creating meaningful opportunities for individuals to work, grow, and thrive.

Job Coaching & Support

Our Job Coaches work in partnership with employers and their teams to help new employees successfully transition into the workplace. Job Coaches provide individualized, hands-on support to help employees understand job responsibilities, workplace expectations, company culture, and the skills needed to succeed in their position.

Job coaching services are flexible and tailored to the needs of both the employer and the employee. Support may include learning job tasks, developing workplace routines, strengthening communication and interpersonal skills, building independence, and identifying strategies that support long-term success.

Our goal is to complement the employer’s existing training while providing the additional support needed to create a successful and sustainable employment experience. As the employee becomes more confident and independent in their role, job coaching support can be adjusted accordingly.

By working together, UCP, the employer, and the employee can create an inclusive workplace where individuals have the opportunity to learn, contribute, and succeed.

Tailored Day Services

UCP’s employment focused Tailored Day Services (TDS) are designed to help the individual focus on their individual goal(s) and in their own timeframe. It is a one-on-one, hourly service that can take place once a week or more than once a week and is designed based on the individual’s interests and goals. For those that are interested in UCP’s Paid Internship Program (PIP), signing up for TDS is a requirement (if the person is not already in another Day program and is case by case) that will help prepare them for the workplace. UCP uses an extensive curriculum designed to help participants prepare for the workplace. The curriculum touches on topics such as body language, conflict resolution in the workplace, taking initiative, dressing for success and many other useful and vital work readiness topics. TDS also allows for things such as job exploration, studying for a Driver’s License written test and help with studying for (some) higher education classes. The list of possibilities is based on what the individual is interested in.
