Employment schedule and work hours was verified through:

|_| Employer contact |_| Customer contact |_| Pay Stub |_| Observing the customer at work

|_| Other. Describe:      

Describe the role(s) of the Job Placement Specialist in assisting the customer with obtaining and maintaining the job.

I assisted Kelly with filling out the Personal Employment Data Sheet, writing a resume and edited the resume with him. He ws trained on filling out job applications appropriately, I helped him identify job references and trained him on expected written correspondence, we completed interview training and recorded four mock interviews with Kelly. The JPS trained Kelly on appropriate responses to pre-employment testing, assisted Kelly in learning job search strategies and completed side-by-side job search with him. He was trained on job acceptance and preparing for the first day of work. Also, I assisted Kelly in networking with employers and how to follow-up with employers after he submits his application and/or resume. This assistance helped him in obtaining a job at Pep Boys.

Describe any steps taken to customize the position for the customer to meet the needs of the customer and the business. (for example, blending job descriptions)   

I assisted Kelly in negotiating his employment hours, so that he was able to start at 7:30am and end at 3:30pm, which allowed him enough time to get to late afternoon medical appointments. This assistance allows Kelly to manage his disability so that he is able to maintain his job. Kelly reported being satisfied with the first five days of his new job.

Describe all accommodations, compensatory techniques, and special training needs identified or established to increase the customer’s performance in the work setting: (environmental changes, assistive technology devices, or work process)  

Kelly and I discussed his accommodation needs, and he was trained on appropriate ways to request accommodations in the workplace. Kelly was able to successfully request and gain the following accommodations at Pep Boys: ear plugs to block out startling noises, extra 5 minute break each day to take medication if needed, and access to drinking water to avoid dehydration (medication side effects). He has been offered a set schedule with Monday and Sundays off.

Describe any consultations made with the business.

I visited Kelly on his first day of work and consulted with his employer to ensure that Kelly was in a supportive environment. Kelly's manager, Leon, stated that he was excited to hire Kelly and ensured us that Kelly would have access to ear plugs, extra breaks to take medications, and drinking water as needed.
