Agency Profile

 

Career Quest (CQ) was founded by two colleagues with combined experience exceeding 30 years in providing social services to adults with disabilities. Individuals participate in vocational plans developed by CQ staff in collaboration with the Washington Division of Developmental Disabilities and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Participants have also been placed with the Washington State Supported Employment Program.

Career Quest works with the program participants to assess their abilities and then develop employment that maximizes an individuals strengths and interests. Once employed, Career Quest works with the participants and their employers to learn the skills of the job. As experience is gained in the new career, the staff at Career Quest scale back their support of the participant, as needed.

Some individuals may qualify for on-going or long-term support services.
