TURN YOUR WORK GOALS INTO NEXT STEPS
A personal path toward finding work that fits your strengths and interests.
YOUR WORK. YOUR PREFERENCES. YOUR PLAN.
Employment development helps people pursue competitive, integrated employment, self-employment, or a microenterprise.
Bring your experience, your interests, and your questions. The conversation can begin with the kind of work you want to do, the environment that suits you, and what would help you take the next step.
Talk about your goals ↗
Your goals and preferences guide the conversation with Alliance.
