Group Supported Employment (GSE) is a service that provides participants the opportunity to work in an environment that allows for maximum interaction in the community and among various businesses, with job coaching support. The service assists participants in developing skills, abilities and behaviors that will enable them to most fully realize their vocational aspirations and support their transition into a more independent employment setting if they desire, and helps participants maintain positive work related habits, as well as assists participants to become a part of the workforce. This service is provided at a 1:2 ratio.

Achieve utilizes a base line curriculum tool, BoardMaker, to initiate classes and vocational, certification trainings.  Prior to any compensated or volunteer work, participants are assessed by a job coach/supervisor:
