Job coaching provides on-site support for individuals with developmental and or intellectual disabilities at their place of employment. A job coach helps individuals learn job tasks, understand expectations, and use accommodations that support success. Support may include modeling tasks, creating visual supports, and identifying strategies to improve efficiency and confidence. Job coaches do not perform the job for the individual. The goal is to gradually fade supports over time, allowing the individual to work as independently as possible.

Employment Path Community helps individuals build marketable skills needed for gainful employment in the community. Participants explore career interests through volunteering and internships while developing workplace skills through classes such as computer use, typing, and cashiering. Support may also include learning employment basics like clocking in and out and following a work schedule. This service focuses on skill development and job readiness and is distinct from on-site job coaching.

The Summer Youth Program supports youth with disabilities in gaining real-world work experience during a six-week summer program. Participants are paired with a job coach who provides mentoring and guidance while helping youth develop workplace skills and independence. Local businesses partner with Garten to offer hands-on employment opportunities at their locations. These experiences often lead to continued employment, helping youth build confidence and a strong foundation for their future careers.
