Work Exploration |
This program involves a series of ten classes for consumers who need to explore the world of work and its impact on their lives, providing them with the information and experiences necessary to make informed decisions about work. WE classes focus on the values and attitudes of consumers regarding employment and how these belief systems fit into the reality of work. The consumer that benefits the most from work exploration is the consumer that is unsure if they want to become involved in work. Upon completion of the program, consumers are prepared to make decisions regarding vocational programs and entering the world of work. Transportation is provided on a rotating basis from East Valley BH clinics/offices to the West Valley clinics/offices. The Work Exploration Curriculum has been designed to have specific guidelines that will aide in the assessment of the consumers’ needs and can accommodate diverse cultural needs of consumers. The curriculum includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Provide counseling, guidance, and facilitate decision-making.
- Define steps that lead to vocational decisions.
- Provide real work experiences.
- Field trips to local businesses.
- Self-esteem building classes.
- Out of class assignments to determine motivational abilities and follow through.
- The effects of working on benefits.
- Assess resume and interview abilities, tape mock interviews for review.
- Discussion of ADA to ensure consumers have a thorough understanding of reasonable accommodation.
- Stress Management and Anger control.
