ECVC operates three primary programs designed to help individuals with disabilities achieve their vocational goals. 
These include:

1.         Transitional Program.  This program offers time-limited services, usually no more than four months, to help an individual obtain competitive employment.  Specific services within this program include assessment, job readiness training, job placement assistance, and on-the-job training once employment is obtained.  ECVC has a contract with the NC Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to provide these services.  Other funding arrangements may also be accepted, e.g. workers compensation, social services, public schools, private pay, etc. 

2.         Adult Developmental and Vocational Program (ADVP).  This is a long-term program which provides ongoing work and day activities for persons with more severe disabilities.  Work activities occur within ECVC’s production contracts.  Day activities include instruction in daily living skills, socialization, leisure skills, etc.  These activities occur both within the facility and in the community.  There is no time limit on enrollment.  Rather, enrollment is based on client needs and preferences.  ECVC has a contract with East Carolina Behavioral Health, the local management entity representing the NC Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services to provide these services.  Other funding arrangements may also be accepted.   

3.         Supported Employment.  This is a long-term program which assists persons with more severe disabilities to obtain and maintain community employment.  This program is has two distinct service phases.  The first, an intensive service phase, involves assessment, job development, placement, and one-on-one job site training.  The second phase, an extended service phase, involves long-term follow-up to help with job retention.  ECVC has contracts with the NC Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to provide the intensive service phase and with East Carolina Behavioral Health to provide the extended service phase.  Other funding arrangements may also be accepted.
