MME is under contract with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation to
provide job training to qualified individuals. Vocational Rehabilitation
Program participants are required to provide their own transportation to and
from the work site.
The goal of our Vocational Rehabilitation Program is to place people in jobs
they can perform independently. MME staff members help the disabled
individual fill out applications and prepare for job interviews. They also
explain the benefits of this program to potential employers.
This program offers three types of employment services – job development,
on-the-job evaluation, and transitional employment. MME job specialists work
with individuals to figure out what types of jobs they’re interested in, and
contact employers. They also contact the local Job Service about available
jobs and future job openings.

The person with a
disability works for an employer to see if he or she likes the job
and can succeed at it. Each individual is given a set amount of hours to
work, and is paid for doing the job.
Transitional employment services involve reviewing and teaching job-seeking
skills such as preparing a resume, doing practice interviews, and organizing
a job search. MME Specialists also help individuals with other important
aspects of a job search, such as good grooming and hygiene, problem solving,
and providing transportation if necessary.
