Extended Coaching and Fidelity Review

Weeks 22–25 focus on extended coaching and fidelity review, ensuring that job placements are stable, sustainable, and fully aligned with Customized Employment principles. During this period, you will implement systematic instruction, natural supports, and fading strategies to help the jobseeker maintain independence and success on the job.

These weeks emphasize ongoing support, reflection, and quality assurance, helping ensure that job placements remain effective, and sustainable over time.
