School to Employment

Our School to Employment programs are designed to enable students with disabilities to smoothly transition from school to work upon graduation.
​
This program works hand in hand with local school districts in NEPA. Upon graduation, students may continue to receive support through HRC. 

Sessions focus on topics such as finding and gaining employment, resume writing, dress code and appearance in the work place, work place etiquette, and much more.
 
Students have the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge - developing skills that they can use to navigate the work force when they are ready. Assistance may vary with each student.

Students can explore job interests and develop skills necessary to obtain and maintain employment. Students will learn the value of communication, teamwork, problem solving, time management, and more.
​
Work experience is community-based work assessments, paid work experiences and job shadowing in a local area business. HRC works together with school districts to incorporate work experience into the school day and curriculum. This opportunity is free to the student and the school.
