I work with some people who have difficulty “fitting-in” to mainstream type of jobs, what are the alternatives?
One approach to helping non-traditional jobseeker jobs is called Customized Employment. This term is often associated with initiatives developed by the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability and Employment Policy (ODEP). The goal of the approach is to help job seekers develop a “niche” for themselves in the workforce by creating a unique relationship between the employee with a disability and the employer that will meet the workplace needs of both.
