What to expect
Career camps are meant to empower, expose, educate, and challenge students helping them to prepare for life after school and the workforce. Students should leave with more confidence and awareness whether they are soon to leave school and enter the workforce or are thinking about work for the first time.
Students can expect engaging classroom training on:
- Work Readiness Training: The soft skills needed to work, land a job, maintain employment, and advance in the workplace
- Job Exploration Counseling: Self-exploration in relation to work and the labor market, as well as goal setting and vocational planning
- Self-Advocacy: Learning the importance of advocacy and how to professionally advocate for oneself
- Counseling on Post-Secondary Education: Focused on the major differences between High School and Higher Education and soft skills necessary for success in a more independent school environment
- Work Based Learning Experience: Upon completion of our career camp students will experience work in a way that matches their skillset and experience levels. Experiences consist of:
- Paid Internships – students appropriate for these experiences need to be able to produce independent, consistent standards of work with limited support
- Job Shadows
- Volunteer Days
- Company Tours
- Information Interviews and more

Why are these camps so important
Providing vocationally focused training and experiences to students with disabilities while in school vastly sways success rates for obtaining and maintaining work post school compared to those who leave school with no work experience or vocational focused training or exploration.
Our career camps can be used as a starting point towards work readiness, a final step before joining the workforce and all that lands between.
