Workplace Readiness Training

Workplace Readiness Training

Workplace readiness traits describe a number of skills that employers expect from

most employees. Workplace readiness skills are a set of skills and behaviors that

are necessary for any job, such as how to interact with supervisors and

co-workers and the importance of timeliness.

In addition to developing social and independent living skills, workplace readiness training may also include:

• Financial literacy

• Orientation and mobility skills

• Job-seeking skills

• Understanding employer expectations for punctuality and performance

Instruction to Self-Advocacy

Workplace Readiness Training

Instruction to Self-Advocacy

The development of self-advocacy skills should be started at an early age. These

skills will be needed in education, workplace and community settings. Specifically,

they include an individual’s ability to effectively communicate, convey, negotiate

or assert his/her own interests and/or desires. We work with students

to develop self-determination, which means that students with disabilities have

the freedom to plan their own lives, pursue the things that are important to them

and experience the same life opportunities as other people in their communities.

Self-advocacy skills are developed when students are provided with experiences to develop:

• Knowledge of self

• Knowledge of rights and responsibilities

• Communication skills

• Leadership skills
