Discover Program
The
Discover program offers students an integration of classroom and pre-vocational
instruction with on-the-job training. Students
with IEPs, between the ages of 16 and 21, are assessed for placement in group
or individual settings within the community. Group work experience
varies in length and intensity depending on student ability, past experience
and student worker/employer match. Trained evaluators assess students,
contact employers to identify appropriate employment opportunities, and provide
or coordinate on-the-job coaching and support from the classroom teacher
by integrating consumer economics, career awareness, and social responsibilities
into the curriculum.
The primary goal of this program is to prepare
students for success in the workplace and for independent living.
