Community Employment
• It’s designed to teach work skills to students with disabilities
• Facilitate competitive employment in the community.• VAC prepares students to enter the world of work with
support before graduation.• Students will enter VAC / CAP placement their senior
year after their graduation requirements have been met so students are able to become as self-sufficient as possible upon graduation with supported employment.
• Students will maintain employment after graduation with support from outside agencies. (DARS / Emergence Health Care)
