Customized Employment (CE) is a flexible process designed to personalize the employment relationship between a job seeker and an employer in a way that meets the needs of both. In this course, students will be introduced to the four essential components of CE; Discovery, Job Search Planning, Job Development and Negotiation and Post-Placement Support. Through lecture, dialogue and sharing and interactive sessions with job seekers and potential employer’s students will develop a range of competencies within these components that enable them, in collaboration with the job seeker, to complete the tasks involved in CE.
The student is encouraged to work through the activities with a specific client in mind.

Supported Self Employment
More and more, as person-centered planning and creative approaches are adopted by the Community Living movement, agencies are exploring innovations such as the formation of worker cooperatives and micro enterprises owned and operated by the client.
Supported self employment means that with agency staff support, the client owns and operates their own small business. This course provides an easy-to-access 'toolkit' for small business development, which covers such topics as entrepreneurial readiness, marketing, business planning, financial literacy, and the latest information on MHSD's self-employment program.The format of the course allows for discussion and sharing, interspersed with lectures. The student is encouraged to work through the activities with a specific client in mind. The final result is a mini business plan.
