Community Work Experiences

Community work experiences expose clients to actual work situations in several ways:

  • The client learns about a job by “shadowing” an employee in a real work environment
  • The client actually works on a job under the guidance of a mentor
  • The client does a “job tryout” at no cost to the employer

And, the employer has a chance to assess a person’s potential with no obligation to hire.

SCVRD pays Worker’s Compensation coverage for clients involved in community work experiences.
