Employment Opportunities for Youth (EMPLOY) 2 is a Career and Technical Education course designed for students with disabilities. The course emphasizes career exploration, guiding students to discover personal strengths, research career options, engage in new experiences, and develop plans for achieving postsecondary goals. Instruction is delivered through participation in a School-Based Enterprise, where students build both soft and technical skills that prepare them for community-based work experiences in EMPLOY 3 or direct entry into the workforce through EMPLOY 4.
Any student who is receiving special education services and whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) and transition goals indicate the appropriateness of the EMPLOY curriculum.
It is recommended that a student complete EMPLOY 1 before enrolling in EMPLOY 2.
EMPLOY courses can fulfill Sequential Elective requirement and Career and Technical Education (CTE) completer sequence elective.
