Community Based Work Assessment

A program which provides vocational assessment within competitive job sites consistent with the individual's interests and capabilities. The individual will perform various job tasks during the assessment period, in which work habits, skills, and aptitudes will be evaluated. A job coach accompanies the individual, providing assistance as necessary. Results of the assessment enable the individual to pursue vocational objectives.
