What We Do
Sunrise Enterprises provides employment services by using five methods to find a good fit.
Discovery - Observing an individual in various settings including their own home and their surrounding community to identify interest and ability for employment opportunities.
Career Exploration - Job sampling and exploration. This is a onetime 2.5 – 4 hour shifts in which an individual goes to a business to try out a job. A Sunrise Job Coach stays with the individual on site during the sample.
Assessments - Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors assess individuals by:
-
- Community Based Work Assessment requested by Vocational Rehabilitation
- Out comes to be defined between VR Counselor and the individual
- Targeted Vocational Assessment requested by Vocational Rehabilitation in relationship to a specific employment goal
Job Development - Establishes and maintains activities to develop, locate and secure job openings.
