The goal of our Vocational Program is to build positive work behaviors and provide expert training for every student. From the age of 14 years, students start working with the Vocational Services Department, which is staffed by two Special Education teachers and three job coaches.

Each student starts in our Work Adjustment program within the Gengras Center building followed by a job on the campus of USJ. As students gain necessary work skills they may eventually participate on one of our Community Work Teams.

Students have begun working at their work sites this semester. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Vocational Services Department at 860.231.5383. You may also email us at [email protected] or [email protected].
