CARF
Defined (Click to visit the
CARF Web Site)
An organization seeking CARF accreditation in the area of employment services
provides individualized services to achieve identified employment outcomes.
The design of an organization’s employment services considers the goals of
the persons receiving services, the personnel needs of the employers in the
local job market, the community resources available, and the trends and economic
considerations in the employment sector.
The organization maintains its leadership role in the employment sector of
the community by designing and continually improving its services based on input
from the persons receiving services, input from employers in the local job
market, and the results of the organization’s outcomes management system.
Individual Employment
| Our staff lets you know of job openings,
helps you complete job applications, and
teaches you interviewing skills. You get
advice on what to wear, resume-writing,
and how to handle difficult questions.
You also learn the bus and trolley routes
to work. When you're ready to begin your
new job, your job coach makes sure you
know your responsibilities. Your new
employer pays you regular wages and you
may receive benefits. |
Employment in a Group
Setting
| Here's a chance to work in the community
for a fixed number of hours each week.
You and your peers work together at a
business, but each of you are responsible
for a different job assignment. Your
daily schedule depends on the needs of
the business. |
Work Crews
| Together with a small crew of people, you
perform service jobs in the community
such as grounds-keeping and custodial
work. You learn about safety and the
proper use of different tools such as
buffers, mops, mowers, clippers, etc... |
Community-based
| You are part of a small crew that plans
your weekly schedule with a job coach.
The crew works for a few hours every week
at nearby businesses. When you are not
working, your group is in the community
learning practical tasks such as buying
groceries at the supermarket, making
deposits at the bank, or checking-out
books at the library. You also visit
local attractions such as Balboa Park,
the Quail Botanical Gardens, and Horton
Plaza. |
Light Industry
| You can work at one of The Arc's
production centers on a variety of light
industrial jobs that include
small-product assembly, shrink wrapping,
or heat sealing. We provide training and
supervision and your pay is based on how
much work you do. |
You can contact Arc Community Employment
Services (ACES) at (619) 234-4363.
