Non-Supported Employment Job Coaching requires an exception and is not widely used. This service is provided when the counselor, candidate and employer determine that job coaching is needed. There is always a preference to work with a CRP for non-supported employment job coaching supports, however, there are times when services are not available through a CRP or the CCO option. In these rare circumstances, through informed choice, a job candidate may consider opportunities similar to CCO non-supported employment job coaching. This training may be available on or off the work site by the individual the job candidate chooses (e.g. co-worker, family member, friend, acquaintance) that is knowledgeable about the job candidate and the job needs. Throughout the work day, in consultation with the job candidate’s IVRS counselor, the job coach gains disability-related knowledge used to support the job candidate in learning the job-specific tasks, work habits, and behaviors so that they are eventually able to work independent of job coaching assistance. When this option is utilized, IVRS provides payment to the job candidate who then hires the job coach of their choice. These time-limited services then transition to natural supports occurring in the work environment unless specific arrangements and eligibility has been determined for extended long-term supports.
