Here We Grow Again!

01.05.2009

On January 5th, HRC launched the first of two new programs for 2009.  The Goals of the Vocational and Community Options program are to provide the participants with the skills they will need to: get and hold a job, participate in their community and to succeed in daily living. The program is individualized for each participant, concentrating on the needs and interests of each student. The length of the program depends completely on the development of each individual. Students learn Employability skills and Life skills in a small classroom setting with a six to one student /instructor ratio. As well as classroom studies VOCOP takes participants into the community to tour local businesses, do volunteer work, network and learn about the resources available to them in their community.
