Types of Employment Services
A variety of employment services are available to meet the unique
abilities and capabilities of each individual.
Employment Assessments

at SKCAC).
Facility-Based Employment
Training and employment on-site at our Kent production facility.
Employees perform a variety of assembly, collating, fabrication
and packaging tasks. Each employee's work assignments are based
on their individual skills. Employees have the opportunity to receive
training and work on a wide variety of assembly, collating, fabrication
and packaging tasks. Wages are earned based on individual productivity
levels (piece-rate) per the U.S. Department of Labor standards.
Person-Centered Planning
Planning centered around the individual and their areas of interest.
The process includes the individual, family, friends and others
interested in the successful employment of the individual (as determined
by the individual served). Graphic planning and facilitation may

and provides supports as necessary to help you to be successful
in your new position. SKCAC placement personnel work
with employers to develop jobs with natural work supports.
Work Experience
Time-limited work experience opportunities at SKCAC are
available to assist an individual to gain work skills for employment
in the community.
Applying for Employment Services and Waiting List
The popularity of SKCAC's employment services can require us to establish a waiting list for some services. If you are interested in applying for services please contact
us to setup a meeting with a SKCAC employment services staff
member to complete an application for services. SKCAC Industries
requires that each individual meet SKCAC's criteria for participation
and have a referral resource such as the Division of Developmental
Disabilities or the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.
