Preparation
We empower and assist individuals with addressing and overcoming any barriers they may have to employment so that once they receive an offer, they will be ready to work.
Job Search Assistance
Conduct job search activities to identify available employment opportunities within the local labor market that closely match the individual’s skills, interests, and abilities. Assist individuals to obtain employment by supporting their efforts to complete job applications, interviews, and follow-up activities.
One-to-One Training
We provide individuals with one-to-one on-the-job training in order to offer support to both the individual and the employer. We help to ensure all parties that the job is done in the right way.
Monthly Followups
Gradually fade away from on-site training activities as the individual and the consumer are comfortable with the employment arrangement. Provide continued follow-up on a monthly basis to ensure job retention.

My son Lance is 17 years old. Diagnosed with high-function autism, learning disabilities, and anxiety at age 13. When I was told that DORS could help find Lance a job he was comfortable with and could manage with the help of a job coach, I was yes, that sounds amazing! It truly has been amazing! Lance is working at Tropical Smoothie Cafe and is doing fantastic. He is doing the duties asked of him and making his own money. I can’t thank RISE Services enough for helping provide the job coaches who are there to help Lance on the job. I have to give a shout-out to Derrick White Lance‘s job coach. He is a very dedicated young man to giving these young adults the self-esteem and confidence to do more than they think they are capable of. I’m very thankful for services like RISE Services & DORS

It’s been great working with our student. Even in the short amount of time he’s been working with us, I can see his growth. He comes in and gets right to work. He tackles all of his assignments, is willing to learn new things, and has really been a great addition to our team. I’m glad we found each other.
Barbara is a dedicated professional who invests in developing community partnerships and creating opportunities for disadvantaged individuals. Her collaborative and solution-focused approach makes her a strong contributor in the community and an effective leader in the human services field. I enjoy her enthusiasm and passion for helping the people we serve.
Heather, my Job Coach, helped me get the job of my dreams. I’m making money and still have my benefits because she helped me with that, too.
