EMPLOYMENT
ORIENTATION
PROGRAM
AT SEABROOK VILLAGE
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ultimate goal is to have each student employed at his/her highest
competitive level upon graduation. Students are taught specific
employment skills in a natural setting in the community for a full year
program. Students are in a non-paid training plan to develop work skills
necessary for success.
The program encompasses both community and school-based training class for
practical math skills, social skills, and a forum to discuss real life experiences
from the community placement. An SLE must teach the class. A qualified
(trained) job coach will eventually supervise the work site. Examples of such
sites are: Seabrook Village, The Sheraton, and The Chelsea House.
