Career and Community Connections (Career Awareness)

The Career and Community Connections program gives students with disabilities a chance to improve their self-concept and social skills while pursuing the goal of career development.

The program is open to both local and IEP diploma candidates, ages 13-21. Curriculum areas include home living, personal living, community and employment skills. Work site experiences include exploration and shadowing and can be extended to include training.

Students also participate in regular community based experience enabling them to functionally apply skills presented in the classroom.
