Employment Program ( 19+ yrs )
After the completion of the vocational orientation program, both our young men and women become aware of their own capabilities and skills that will help them in finding employment, as well as the obstacles and difficulties that they may face in the workplace. With the help of their vocational orientation supervisors, they start by writing their personal resume. Then, the supervisors begin searching for places of work which would be suitable to their abilities; an assessment of the workplace as well as job evaluation are performed. The supervisors also train a given workplace on how to deal with this population, and make sure their rights are met and understood by all working with them.
