Youth Services
Deciding where you want to go or what you want to do after high school can be confusing. Is working after graduation the right decision or should you go onto college or some other employment training?
VR helps students and youths with disabilities prepare for their future. We will work with you, your teachers, your parents, or other family members to plan for the next phase of your life. We want to help you achieve your employment goals and fulfill your dreams.
What We Can Do For You
During High School – we can provide pre-employment transition services for you. Get help with career awareness, exploration, and preparation; work readiness skills training; self-advocacy training, including peer mentoring; guidance and counseling on career training and education; and work experiences.
After High School – we can help you with career exploration, guidance, and counseling; job search and placement, workplace accommodations, job coaching, on-the-job training, job retention skills training, and college or career training.
