Workability

---

Workability is a State-wide cooperative program to assist students with disabilities to enter the world of work.

• A coordinated program which integrates efforts of the Department of Rehabilitation, the Employment Development Department, Community Agencies, Workforce Investment Act Board, and Local Schools.
• A means for students with disabilities to complete their secondary education while also training in private sector jobs.
• A training and employment program working to benefit students, employers, and the community at large.

Students start off with in-house jobs at the school. Once there is success completing in-house jobs students move on to the next process. A student is evaluated for their interests and abilities in addition to undergoing a screening process. Vocational training may be provided as needed. Students are then referred to the Workability Program accordingly. The student is guided and supported through the process as needed.
