Description (Service)

An 8-week program designed to assist people with disabilities obtain and identify skills, while working toward employment, volunteering, or recreational programs. Daily job skill workshops are offered in areas of computer training, janitorial, food services, customer service and retail to help with job readiness and life skills. At the end of their work and skills training experience, participants are provided with an evaluation to provide guidance on the best path forward. The assessment includes pace and quality of work, ability to follow instructions, attitude, initiative, strengths and areas for improvement, as well as other job-related skills. Upon completion, participants who are ready for employment will work with a Career Development Specialist and a Job Developer to assist with resume, interview skills and job search, assisted interviews (if needed) as well as job coaching. Participants unable to transition into employment will receive guidance to find either volunteer or recreation opportunities.
