Exploring Careers

This program is a work-training program in the community setting where our students can practice skills with the expertise of a job coach in an authentic vocational environment. CISD staff accompanies students to business training sites in the community. At the sites, students acquire necessary skills by participating in various unpaid employment activities. The educational staff intervenes directly when needed, provides systematic training to the student, modifies the instruction to match the needs of the student, and adapts circumstances of the task or activity to ensure a successful training experience. When data shows that the students are prepared for paid employment they are recommended for Career Preparation.
