Career Planning, Discovery, and Exploration

This program provides an opportunity for individuals with disabilities to explore different types of jobs and discover their skills, abilities, and areas of interest. Our staff members customize this process to meet the needs of each person.

  • Reasons for wanting to work
  • Conditions/preferences for employment
  • Current job skills
