Classes
Classes to help clients prepare for employment include:
- Classes that address how specific disabilities affect work ability.
- Pre-employment classes on how to fill out job applications, develop interview skills and develop an understanding of an employer’s expectations.
- Employment classes for “job ready” clients include job-seeking groups, advanced interview skills and other topics.
Training
Job-readiness training helps develop positive work behaviors and the physical stamina needed for successful adjustment to a new job. This training involves working on outsource contracts at an SCVRD work training center.
On-the-job training can be provided by a prospective employer. A “job ready” client works for an hourly rate of at least minimum wage while learning the skills of the job. If the training is successful, the client is expected to be employed in the same or a comparable position.
Assistance with post-secondary training leading to an associate or baccalaureate degree may be provided if it is in an area of study leading to an appropriate career field.
