Job Coach
The Job Coach program provides community-based job training for students with disabilities. This training program, based on a supported employment model with adaptations being made for the needs of individual students, has several objectives: job exploration, job preparation and first-hand knowledge of work requirements. The goal is to transition students from school to employment or adult services, according to their individual needs. The Job Coach instructor reviews student interests, vocational evaluations, proficiencies and behaviors to provide a work experience that is a good match for the student. Students are supervised at the work site by a Job Coach trainer, and in most cases, students are not paid during the work experience.
