Welcome to Buckner Employment Service & Training!

Carol Buckner
Buckner Employment Service & Training (BEST) is a corporation owned by Carol J. Buckner of Liberty Township, Ohio.  BEST exists to offer the highest possible quality in Career Planning, Job Development, Job Coaching, Customized Employment, and employment supports to people with developmental or intellectual disabilities who reside in southwestern Ohio.
 
Ms. Buckner has adopted the following principles to guide the work that she and her employees carry out through BEST:
 

∙ High expectations for the employment of people: BEST believes that all people with disabilities can find meaningful employment and that BEST must stretch itself to the very maximum to find a match among a person’s interests, a person’s skills, and the needs of an employer or the market for goods/services in the person’s community.

∙ Attention to people’s choices and ambitions: BEST intends to use methods that rely on continued listening to the person being supported and that build on the person’s passions, interests, and skills.

∙ Person-centered planning: BEST uses person-centered planning techniques—including PATH (©Inclusion Press) and “Discovering Personal Genius” to help employment seekers and their families and allies to be clear about their desired futures.  Person-centered planning then helps employment-seekers and BEST to organize pathways toward those desired employment goals.
