Work Services & Extended Employment

Work Services and Extended Employment are designed to help persons with disabilities learn the routines of work and the skills necessary to succeed in a job. These services provide an important opportunity for persons who need vocational training, but are not interested in, or ready for, a competitive, community-based job. Employment and training for these individuals are provided in one of our manufacturing/service areas or through Helena Industries' community-based Janitorial crews.  The training includes learning specific job skills, as well as good employee skills. 

Individuals with developmental disabilities receive funding for Work Services through Montana’s Developmental Disabilities Program, while people with other types of disabilities receive funding for Extended Employment through Montana’s Vocational Rehabilitation Program.
