Employment Services

  • Employment Services 

Employment Services at Life Skills Training Center provide individuals with meaningful opportunities to learn job skills, build confidence, and earn competitive wages. 

  • Supported Employment 

Through supported employment, individuals receive ongoing job training and supervision while working directly within LSTC-operated services such as: 

    • Industrial laundry 
    • Floor mat services 
    • Janitorial services 

With guidance from job trainers, participants develop: 

    • Time management and task completion skills 
    • Problem-solving abilities 
    • Workplace behaviors and social skills 

Clients may participate in enclave groups, working in small teams that provide services to local businesses. 

  •  Community Employment 

In our Community Employment program, individuals are hired directly by local employers. LSTC job coaches provide support by: 

    • Matching interests and abilities with job opportunities 
    • Assisting with applications and interviews 
    • Training on job-specific tasks, social skills, and workplace routines.

As individuals gain independence, job coaches gradually reduce hands-on support while remaining available to ensure long-term success 

Employment First

Everyone deserves the opportunity to work.

At Life Skills Training Center, we support Iowa’s Employment First philosophy, which recognizes competitive, integrated employment as the first choice for working-age individuals with disabilities. We partner with individuals and local businesses to help create meaningful employment opportunities, with individualized training and ongoing support to promote success.
