At Black Hills Works, we have a team of job coaches who work to support participants find employment as a first option for how they spend their days and achieve a good life. Our team works with each participant on career exploration, skill development, coaching, and support to ensure employment success.
Individual Supported Employment
Through our Individual Supported Employment program, we help participants find and keep meaningful employment in the community. We provide participants with career exploration, job coaching, support on the job, help with keeping a job, and regular check-ins.
Career Exploration
Work Inspired, our career exploration program, helps participants discover skills and prepare for job readiness. This service focuses on teaching participants how to be competitive workers through a practice job training program in different community settings.
Independent Community Employment
Our employment support staff can help participants receive the assessments and on-the-job training they need to prepare for jobs in community businesses. Through our business partnerships, we have the opportunity to match people to available positions and provide intermittent follow-up support to maintain independent employment.
Small Group Community Employment
We also contract with businesses to provide services by a team of participants with their support staff on location, such as housekeeping and janitorial, or either on or off site, for jobs like assembly and packaging. Assessment, training, and ongoing support are the benefits of this vocational option.
Group Supported Employment (Federal Contracts)
Black Hills Works provides job opportunities for adults with disabilities through federal contracts, primarily at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Our employees with disabilities work at the Postal Service Center, Official Mail Center, Base Supply Store, Raider Café, and base-wide providing janitorial services. We also employ workers at two GSA contracts located at the Federal Building and Vehicle Marshalling.
Additionally, we hold contracts at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska for the Commissary. We provide rehabilitation and transportation services for our Omaha employees.
