Legacy Empowerment Services’ Career Planning service helps Members explore their strengths, interests, skills, and professional goals so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
This focused, time-limited service is designed for Members who are beginning to think about employment, preparing to transition into competitive integrated work, or getting ready for a higher-level prevocational training track.
Career Planning may be a strong fit for Members who are unsure what type of work they want to pursue, want to better understand their strengths and interests, or need structured vocational exploration before moving into employment or training.
Members complete structured self-evaluation activities designed to clarify interests, strengths, skills, workplace preferences, support needs, and long-term goals.
Career Planning may include vocational market research to explore local job opportunities, possible career paths, and realistic options that align with the Member’s interests and abilities.
Situational assessments may be used to better understand how a Member performs in different settings and what types of supports, environments, or job responsibilities may be the best fit.
A Legacy Coach helps the Member turn what they learn into a practical direction by identifying realistic goals and planning next steps toward employment, supported employment, or prevocational services.
Career Planning may also include reviewing credentialing, training, or continued learning opportunities that could support the Member’s long-term employment goals.
The process can help identify what skills may need to be strengthened before moving forward so Members can approach employment or training with a clearer sense of readiness.
Career Planning gives Members the opportunity to better understand what type of work may be a good fit for them. A Legacy Coach works with the Member to explore interests, abilities, support needs, workplace preferences, and long-term goals while also considering local job markets, training opportunities, and areas for skill development.
Career Planning may be delivered individually, virtually, or in person depending on the Member’s needs, goals, and service plan. Accepted funding may include DDD Supported Employment and private pay options.
The goal is to create a practical direction, not just a general idea. By the end of the process, Members should have a clearer understanding of where they want to go and what supports may help them get there.
