During the career planning process, Caring For Families Social Services utilizes the individual’s dreams, outcomes, personal preferences, interests, and needs to help the individual figure out the types of employment he/she wants to pursue and develop a plan to assist him/her in getting there.

The focus of the career planning process is on identifying what the job seeker wants to do rather
than a lack of skills or limitations that he/she may have. Upon identification of the desired employment outcome,
the career plan will identify support needs necessary toward reaching that outcome. Each individual’s career
planning service is unique to that individual’s plan and demonstrates increasing involvement in the employment
market, development of community connections, and continued movement toward inclusive settings and
community employment.

​

Through Career Planning Services we will help the individual develop a career path that leads to maintained employment in the general workforce, further an individual’s career through increased wages earned, receipt of employment benefits,
increased working hours, promotions, etc. and increase an individual’s satisfaction with his/her career direction in circumstances where the individual is unsatisfied with his/her current job.
