In this section we will discuss three models of Supported Employment: individual, enclave and work crews. Advantages and disadvantages will also be presented.

Individual Employment Model

In the last few years, employees with all kinds of disabilities have proven to be valuable workers in individualized jobs. By focusing on developing jobs based on individual preferences, the individual employment model ensures that:

• work is necessary and meaningful to both the employer and the employee.
• wages are appropriate to the work done.
• employees are respected for contributing to work team.
• jobs are based on individual's interests and goals.
• jobs may be full-time or part-time based on the individual's wishes.
• individual employment offers more opportunity for personal fulfillment, fair pay for real work and community inclusion than does group employment.
