SEE participants held 196 jobs. The majority or 35.4% were service jobs. This was followed by 28.6% in marketing or sales, 20.9% were operator, fabricator, or technical jobs and 10.2% were professional, administrative or managerial in nature. The average number of hours worked per week was 16 with a range of 1 to 40 hours. One third of the jobs required 20 or more hours per week.
Wages ranged from $4.75 to $12.00.
Participants frequently received job related supports like benefits counseling, problem solving and on the job support on issues like negotiating changes in schedule, conflicts with coworkers and changes in management.
Support was also offered to assist individuals with disclosing their disability in order to receive reasonable accommodation.
Individuals in non professional jobs quit or were fired from their jobs more often than those who were not.
Eighty two percent of participants held at least one job. The mean was 2.69 positions with a range from 1 to 10. There were no significant differences between those who did and did not obtain work.
On average it took around 3.5 months for participants to secure employment. The average amount of time worked per job was a little more than 11 months.
Employment outcomes were related to education level which was correlated with more highly educated individuals working more total hours across all types of jobs. Participants who had higher self rated work readiness scores remained employed longer than those with lower rates. Also those with more active days in SEE and more employer accommodations remained employed longer. However, those who receive more on the job supports tended to work less hour and earn lower wages. Overall the SEE program had good fidelity to the IPS model.
