Employment Services

We provide a range of services to adults with IDD who are seeking to find a job, launch a career, or even start their own small business. We start by getting to know the job seeker through a process called Discovery, and leverage this fundamental information to drive the job development supports and services. Once a job is secured, SEEC is able to provide on the job training, supports, services and ongoing job coaching, as needed. SEEC provides these supports through a combination of DDA and DORS funding from the state of Maryland.
