Vocational

of work sample testing, and situational assessment on various jobs.
As a result, vocational strengths and needs are determined which assist
in planning the training a persons needs. Pre-vocational and vocational
planning is person-centered, and focuses on the individuals personal
goals, preferences and interests.
Pre-Vocational Services: Activities are developed
that will prepare an individual for
employment. These services include support and training in behaviors
related to following directions, attending to task, task completion,
problem solving, safety and assisting the person to adjust to the
productive and social relationship demands of a work place.
Vocational Services: Specific job training and work
experience is gained in our work center, which provides paid employment
experience through sub-contracted work. Skills are developed, and
work quality and quantity issues are addressed. Individual job interests
are developed. Confidence and improved self-esteem as an adult worker
is also developed, and frequently leads to successful employment in
community-based jobs. |
