1003-2           NEGOTIATED JOB DEVELOPMENT

Negotiated job development is a series of activities which culminates in the creation of a successful employment relationship that is mutually beneficial to the employer and job seeker. The goal is to negotiate a position rather than pursue posted employment recruitment notices. Through Discovery, the Profile results and the meetings, potential employers are identified based on a likely match to the job seeker’s skills, interests, contributions and conditions. At the negotiated job development phase the job seeker is presented to employers through a series of meetings to introduce the negotiated employment strategy, to understand an employer’s business needs, to present the job seeker’s portfolio and ultimately to create a job unique to the business’ needs and the job seeker. These meetings are most often held at targeted employment sites. Job seeker representation is conducted using a variety of means through the assistance of a Job Developer. Multiple employment sites may be approached during negotiated job development simultaneously in order to maximize potential for a successful, negotiated employment opportunity.

This activity can take place with the FFF if requested by a Case manager.
