Placement Services
The Living Link seeks to place their graduates into integrated open labour market employment by implementing the Supported Employment model. Adults are placed in ordinary working environments, doing regular work where salaries and benefits are realistic and reflect work performance. This department provides the following services:
- Job market screening
- Job site observations / job analyses
- Job sampling
- Recommendations on job restructuring
- Data base of prospective employees with intellectual impairments
- Job matching and placement
- Job coaching / on site training and support
- Employer and co-worker sensitisation and training
Traditionally graduates are placed into entry-level positions that are fairly repetitive and provide a certain degree of structure.
The Living Link has successfully placed many of their graduates into jobs in a variety of work environments including:
- Hospitals
- Offices
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Schools
- Gardens / Outdoor environments
- Hotels
- Kitchens
Inseta and BANKSETA Learnership Program
The Living Link now has a relationship with Inseta and BANKSETA and is involved in placing intellectually impaired young adults, who have completed the Adult Integration Programme, in a 1 year internship within the Banking and Insurance sector. Young adults that are placed in diffrerent banks and insurance companies all become valuable employees that add value to the companies they are working in. The year of work is also invaluable in that it offers vast work experience to the learners, which is extremely valuable when looking for permanent employment once the 1 year internship is completed.
