16.1 Discovery

Discovery is the process to identify the employment seeker’s strengths (potential contributions to employers), needs (the supports that need to be in place for success), and interests (providing a direction for the type of work that the individual wants to do). The hourly rate is for time spent meeting with the individual. The time spent writing the profile is included in the flat fee for the Discovery Profile.
