A Job to be Proud of

Productive Alternatives Employment Services helps walk individuals through the process of finding a job that will best suit them. Our goal is that individuals will discover their gifts, earn supportive wages, and live life to their full ability in the community they love. 

A referral is needed from a  county case manager, or from Vocational Rehabilitation Services in order for us to place an individual. Private pay referrals are an option when needed. We are only a vendor but are more than willing to assist you through the process.
