Turn your Career Goals into Reality

After completing CBS’s Community-Based Prevocational Training Program, the next step on your employment journey is Supported Employment.

Our Supported Employment program helps you move from training into meaningful, competitive employment. We take the time to get to know you—your interests, strengths, skills, and career goals—so we can help you find the job that’s right for you.

A Personalized Path to Employment

At CBS, we understand that every person has unique aspirations. That’s why we work closely with you to develop a personalized employment plan that identifies the type of work you want to pursue and the supports you need to succeed.

Using our extensive network of employer partnerships, we connect participants with employment opportunities throughout Westchester and Dutchess Counties.

Our goal is to help you secure a position that matches your interests while promoting independence, growth, and long-term success.

Finding a job is important—but thriving in that job is what matters most.

Once you’re hired, CBS provides a dedicated job coach who works alongside you to help you learn your responsibilities, build confidence, and successfully transition into your new role.

Placement & Ongoing Support

We provide individualized coaching, guidance, and workplace support to help you succeed on the job and navigate workplace expectations.
