Vocational & Supported Employment Services

 

 

The Human Development Council offers a variety of vocational training opportunities within our centers as well as out in the local community.  The goal of our vocational service program is to provide vocational skills training in "real life" job settings that will allow the consumer to reach his/her true potential.  We are also committed to instilling a sense of accomplishment and self-worth to our consumers by providing the opportunity to earn a paycheck during the work training process.

 

The following is a list of vocational programs available through WCHDC:

COMMERCIAL CONTRACT PROGRAM:  This "in-center" vocational program offers compensated work training processing thousands of pieces of mail and small parts each month for a variety of business customers.  Under the guidance of our Work Program Supervisor, consumers learn both job-specific and general work skills.  This program operates out of our Hagerstown center.
