It was a big day at The Arc of the Mid-South today as nine students graduated from the Job Readiness class offered by our Career Development and Job Placement (CDJP) program. The students have attended class from 9a-noon every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday since August.
Our CDJP program is designed for our clients who benefit from specialized vocational training but do not meet the requirements for enrollment in regular vocational school. It is a hands-on
program that focuses on the mastery of specific job skills that are connected to a variety of career options. Our students learn to work independently and proper social skills and work-related behaviors are emphasized to improve student employability.While graduation means no more attending classes at our offices, it certainly doesn’t end their relationship with The Arc of the Mid-South. Our CDJP team will continue to work closely with the students as they acclimate to society and seek employment.
