Acceptional Minds Young Adult Program

Day Vocational Program: Monday – Friday, 9am-3pm

Afternoon Vocational Program: Monday – Friday, 3pm-7pm

Acceptional Minds’ Vocational Programs are full of opportunities for teens and young adults ages 18-26 to learn and practice certain skills as they enter the workforce. These types of skills improve employability, independence, and quality of life. Each program will be tailored to the group to best fit their needs, while covering general important information. Planned topics include employment options, finance management, and community resources. With staff guidance and assistance, clients will be expected to job shadow, join work experience programs, and take tours of local businesses. AM uses career clusters to help individuals recognize their strengths and interests in order to customize their employment goals. Together, we will work towards a bright and productive future.
