The Academy
Pre-Vocational Training that builds essential skills for work and life
Creating Futures of Independence and Community Involvement
At EmployAbility, we’re committed to providing innovative vocational training and promoting the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in community life. Through our Pre-Vocational Training, participants learn tasks that build vocational skills and help prepare them for supported employment.
In The Academy, participants gain prevocational and life skills that prepare them for community employment and integration.
Participants in The Academy are encouraged to grow personally and professionally every day. We have the opportunity to learn employee-related skills while gaining critical life and workplace skills. Prevocational Training focuses on helping individuals develop good work habits and gain the basic skills and abilities essential for employment in any field, such as following directions and being punctual. These skills may include training in effective communication with supervisors, coworkers, and customers; the ability to follow directions; the ability to complete tasks; and workplace problem-solving skills.
Our goal is to prepare participants for more independent living and careers that provide them with purpose and fulfillment.
