Community Based Prevoc is step one for people toward figuring out what they want to do – whether it’s getting a job or finding other opportunities that they enjoy. Community Based Prevoc services are designed to assist people who are interested in working competitively to develop skills and prepare them for just that – getting a job!  Gaining work and non-work related experience and skills is vital to finding meaningful and long-lasting employment. Within the program, people participate in both job experiences at local businesses alongside a Prevoc Professional staff member, and participate in a classroom curriculum. While in Prevoc, staff will assess each person’s growth. By the end of their time in Prevoc (6 months to 2 years) with staff’s support, they can make the decision to move into another program where they will find competitive employment OR choose another non-work related program.
