Vocational & Job Training

Vocational training for teens through adults with physical, mental, social and emotional challenges is a critical part of their education. Goals and activities are thoughtfully developed with input from the client, parents, teachers/caregivers, and are tailored to the individual.

Here at Equest,

the number of Vocation and Job Skills Training participants from schools, group homes, rehabilitation facilities etc has grown by leaps and bounds- especially in light of the many budget cuts in local school districts and adult care programs. Equest Center is filling many of these gaps by offering opportunities for continued growth at our center.

This program for continued growth

gives many a sense of purpose, pride and accomplishment which is priceless! Skills such as speech, improved communication, following directions, task follow through and completion, punctuality, work  ethic, problem solving, and responsibility are some of the goals targeted. The center is a wonderful place to work on the generalization of skills learned in the classroom as well. We have several unique opportunities for individuals to participate in. Opportunities can be one time, for several weeks, or ongoing.

Please Contact Program Coordinator
