Transitioning from School to Work

Our goal is for students to practice personal independence through job placement, goal-setting and community involvement.  Students participate in vocational exploration and identification of preferences, interests and abilities. We assess knowledge of work-related behaviors and self-advocacy. Job placements have hourly wage with 25-30 hours per week.

Students engage in interviews and are placed in a competitive work situation. Alphapointe staff help students get oriented to the work site and provide short-term job coaching as needed. Alphapointe helps qualified workers and companies understand the capabilities of the blind and visually impaired.
