Employment Opportunities For Youth (EMPLOY) provides special education students with skills that will facilitate their entry into suitable occupations in accordance with their individual educational needs, aptitudes, and interests.
The focus of EMPLOY 1 is career awareness. Students will have opportunities to learn about their personal preferences, interests, and a variety of careers and occupations, and begin to build their self-advocacy skills.
