Supported Employment: Vocational/Social Skills Training (VSST)

VSST is a major component of SE program to promote the development of appropriate work abilities, behaviors and job retention skills in order to meet day-to-day demands of community employment. The training uses classroom instruction, interactive computer software, group discussions, and volunteering at community employment sites and in-house. The curriculum is modified to meet individual needs.

The classroom training also includes the following:

  • Attendance/Punctuality
  • Hygiene/Appearance
  • Communication Skills
  • Working with Supervisors and Co-workers (JSST)
  • Teamwork
  • Work Responsibilities
  • Interview Skills
  • Job Seeking Skills
  • Basic Literacy and Computer Skills

Under the CSC Supported Employment program, individuals are trained by qualified professionals. Participants learn a skill/trade and become competent wage earners.

 

Vocational Evaluation Services

There are many factors that influence an individual’s success in identifying, and obtaining, the job of their choice.

It is only through an individualized and systematic process that viable vocational options can be identified, and realistic employment goals developed. Successfully implementing this process on behalf of the individuals we support is the primary objective of CSC’s Vocational Evaluation Services. For some, a preliminary assessment of assistive technology needs might be appropriate, while, for others, an assessment of functional skills or of prior work experience might be what is needed. CSC’s job coaches and job developers play a key role in this discovery process, and they have a demonstrated record of success in helping individuals identify realistic job opportunities or employment barriers; in understanding assessment results; and in translating those results into appropriate employment goals.
