We help you prepare for the right career.
Whether you’re exploring careers, preparing for your first job, or working toward long-term success, Bobby Dodd Institute’s Employment Support & Career Development Services, prepares you for a future that match your goals. You’ll receive hands-on support focused on your strengths, goals, and pace.
Explore strengths and career options
Personalized career profiles, hands-on work experiences, and practical evaluations help you understand the environments and tasks where you’ll thrive.
Build skills employers value
Through job readiness training and industry-aligned skill development, you’ll gain practical abilities that make day-to-day work easier and more rewarding.
Get hired faster
We’ll help match you with jobs that fit your interests and abilities, guide you through interviews, and connect you with employers actively looking for people with your skills.
Succeed on the job and plan next step
Job coaching, workplace guidance, and help with accommodations give you the confidence to succeed and grow.
Build lifelong workplace skills.
You won’t be pushed into a one-size-fits-all job. Instead, you’ll work through clear, manageable steps, building real workplace skills and securing a job that matches your interests and needs. Support doesn’t stop once you’re hired; it continues so you can stay confident and successful on the job.
