Essential to the short & long term success of individuals with moderate to severe disabilities is the provision of
quality Career & Work Based Learning Experiences. To promote a consistent method of preparation for the people we serve, a Work-based Learning, Employment & Career Development System has been developed.
Readiness for employment is a process that may change over time.
The following factors should be considered:
·Individual desires to work
·Individual has availability to work
·Prior work training experience
·Family commitment to employment
·Current Health Status
·Medication Needs
·Work Related Education/Certifications
·Appropriate Behavior for Workplace
·Employment & Training Options
·Transportation Options
·Individuals commitment to working hours dictated by the job (evenings, weekends & holidays)
To assist Orange County students/youth/adults with moderate to severe disabilities, staff and families in the
