Career Solutions
What do they do?!
Cornerstone career solutions is an agency that will help develop jobs for students once they graduate from our programs. They will help with resumes. finding jobs, filling out job applications, and ,when deemed appropriate, supply a job coach.
How do I qualify?
Most students with an IEP will qualify for some or all of their services. DHS decides whom and what to fund.
How do I get started?
To get started, you will need to speak with an intake coordinator at the Employment Service Center. Call 815-727-6667, and tell them that you would like to set up an intake meeting. They will then set up a date for you to go to the Cornerstone office in Joliet OR they can come meet with you in your home town if you arrange it.
What happens then?
When you have your meeting with Cornerstone, you will need to have an IEP, your most recent eligibility testing, a school or state ID and your Social Security CARD (not just the number). They will ask you some questions about what you like and what you see yourself doing. Once you have your meeting with Cornerstone, they determine what services you may or may not be eligible for.
If you have any questions about Cornerstone and what they do, or if you need help contacting them, please do not hesitate to contact your friendly Transition Coordinator
