Pre-Vocational Training

Pre-Vocational Training helps individuals build the everyday workplace skills that lead to real, paid jobs in the community. Through hands-on learning and practice — not a classroom lecture — participants develop the confidence and habits employers look for, preparing them for competitive, integrated employment at fair wages.

Now launching · Tue/Wed/Thu, 3:30–6:30 PM

Pre-Vocational Training is a stepping stone to supported employment — a hands-on program where individuals practice the real skills, habits, and confidence that lead to competitive, integrated jobs in the community.

What Pre-Vocational Training Can Look Like

  • Practicing communication with supervisors, coworkers, and customers
  • Learning workplace conduct, dress, and following directions
  • Building focus, task completion, and problem-solving skills
  • Workplace safety and getting to and from a job site safely
  • Volunteer and job-club experiences that build real-world skills

Currently offered three days a week (Tue/Wed/Thu, 3:30–6:30 PM) through the DDD Supports Program & Community Care Program waivers.
