Vocational Training

The Vocational Training program provides assessment of employability and develops employment skills to assist individuals to have access to, and participate fully in, their communities.

• Interviewing tips and techniques
• Community Employment Teams (C.E.T.) (Small group of workers with disabilities who enter the community and work under the supervision of Open Door staff.)
