It offers assessment of individual aptitudes and interests through classroom courseware, job exploration and on-the-job assessments as selected sites. The program also provides, through our job developer, training in interview technique, job application completion, and job search skills. Clients are assisted with the job application and interviewing process and are matched to jobs that are sought specifically to meet their interests. Throughout the process of cocational assistance, the Work Activity Program client is aware of the progression of activities that, when completed, will provide successful employment.
