Supported Employment is an approach that aims to assist individuals with significant disabilities in gaining employment in the general workplace. It involves providing ongoing support and accommodations to individuals with disabilities to help them overcome barriers and succeed in competitive employment settings.
The City of Spokane offers supported employment for full-time and part-time job seekers. Full-time supported employment recruitment occurs 1-2 times per year, allowing applicants to submit a single application for consideration across multiple classifications. Qualified candidates are placed on an eligible list and may be called for an interview within one year.
Part-time and seasonal positions are open to supported employment applicants year-round. These positions are generally filled more immediately.
