Community Work Experience

Special Admissions Program
(Counselor Recommendation Only)


Community Work Exp. 08-09Our Community Work Experience program is designed to introduce and improve basic work skills for students with developmental delays.  This is accomplished by transporting the students to an off-campus job site.  The current site is Southwest General Health Center.

Students explore a variety of training sites and begin to experience the demands of a real job.  They are expected to work for periods of time without constant supervision and need to be willing to:

  • Stay with a task
  • Maintain appropriate hygiene and grooming
  • Get along with others
  • Have a desire to work

Continued instruction in life skills such as appropriate work behaviors, social and communication skills, self-advocacy and problem-solving is also provided.
