Mission Road Developmental Center’s Community Employment & Job Coaching Program helps match adults with IDD and employers who are eager to have them on their team.

We are proud of all of our program participants, who share a diagnosis of IDD and who want and deserve to be accepted, supported, and welcomed into the community. Among the most powerful ways – for all of us! – to be included in the community is to have the opportunity to be employed as a respected and valued team member.

We help the hard working yet vulnerable adults in our care FIND, GET & KEEP a job.

Find: Our job coaches work one-on-one with each person to determine their interests and the type of work that is best for them. Often, employers are contacted to help carve out various tasks that could be done on a part-time basis.

Get: Once a job has been identified, job coaches teach individuals the specific skills they will need to be successful at their job.

Keep: In order to keep a job, MRDC provides ongoing employer support. The Not-So-Secret to our Success? Job Coaches!

We are especially grateful to our Community Employment & Job Lunch 2025 Chairmen, Nicole & Erich Langston.
