The employability of students improves through on-campus pre-vocational opportunities, referrals to agencies that assist with employment support like the Department of Rehabilitation or Jobs for Youth, and to volunteer opportunities. In addition, Our Workability Transition Case Technicians provide coaching and 2 year follow along support services to increase the potential for ongoing student employment success.
Our WorkAbility Program seeks employers in the business community who will give students with special needs a chance to prove themselves in a competitive, integrated employment setting.
