Human Services
Our mission is to help persons with disabilities attain a higher quality of life through achievement of their vocational goals.
To carry out this mission, ECVC offers services in several program areas, including:
Vocational Evaluation. This is usually a four-week program during which an individual's potential for employment is assessed using methods such as work samples, situational assessment, and paper/pencil testing.
Work Adjustment Training. Suited for persons who need to develop basic work habits such as attendance, punctuality, accepting supervision, and following instructions. The program usually lasts six to nine months. Individuals accepted into this program are expected to be able to function in a job after training without long-term follow-up.
Work Adjustment Job Coaching. This service component is for individuals who need short-term, one-on-one instruction in job skills at a site other than the ECVC manufacturing facility. Such services are not expected to last more than two months and may be as limited as a few hours.
Supported Employment. This is a placement program for those with severe disabilities who require long-term support services in order to sustain employment at a site other than ECVC.
Adult Developmental and Vocational Program (ADVP). Referral to this program is appropriate for those who have significant limitations in four or more major life areas due to substantial mental retardation, severe physical disabilities, and/or traumatic brain injury. There are two tracks in the ADVP program:
Vocational. For those needing long-term structured work activities in a facility setting with the option of progressing into a supported employment setting.
Pre-Vocational. Appropriate for those needing instruction in self-care, socialization, daily living, and pre-vocational skills. Community inclusion activities are an integral component of this program track.
