✦ Synopsis

This article describes a model process for providing career services to individuals with severe disabilities and presents the outcomes of a 3‐year demonstration project. After completing a career workshop series based at a community college followed by job search support and ongoing follow‐up with employers and employees, all 40 project participants achieved paid employment, with 74.4% employed midway through Year 3. Jobs represented a wide range of occupational areas, and most jobs paid over the minimum wage and included benefits. Implications for enhancing career services and outcomes for this population are discussed.
