Prevocational Training

The service provides learning and work experiences, including volunteer work where the participant can develop general non-job-task-specific strengths and skills that contribute to employability in paid employment in integrated community settings. Services may include:

• Training in effective communication with supervisors, co-workers, and customers
• Generally accepted community workplace conduct and dress
• Ability to follow directions
• Ability to attend to tasks
• Workplace problem-solving skills and strategies
• General workplace safety and mobility training

Prevocational Training is intended to be a service that participants receive over a defined period of time and with specific outcomes to be achieved in preparation for securing competitive integrated employment in the community for which an individual is compensated at or above the minimum wage but not less than the customary wage and level of benefits paid by the employer for the same or similar work performed by individuals without disabilities.

Prevocational Training services cannot be delivered within a sheltered workshop. Supports are delivered in a face-to-face setting either one-on-one with the participant or in a group of two to eight participants.
