Program Support for Inclusive World Vocational Weekday Skills Program for Adult Learners (18 and above)

Program Overview

Inclusive World’s Vocational Weekday Skills Program is designed to empower adults (18 and above) with developmental disabilities, learn the technical and interpersonal skills needed to pursue educational and career goals. We use person-centered practices to support vocational skill development, hands-on experiential learning, employment preparation, community engagement, and health and wellness activities. This is a learning-focused, skill-building program, not a traditional day program.
