In our friendly, supportive program environments, our primary focus is to help you develop the tools needed for employment in a community work setting, which include:
- Socialization
- Work Education
- Community-based learning
- Individualized skills building
- Paid production work (Young adults, 24 years of age and younger, are required to participate in an OOD assessment and career counseling prior to program admission)
We want you to be successful in any work setting and these are all important steps to moving forward on a path to employment. We will evaluate your progress and assess any needs you may have, such as specialized equipment and individualized supports, on a regular basis.
Educating you about the benefits of community work is our goal and that of Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD). Career counseling training is required annually to ensure you know your options and the process for pursing community-integrated employment through OOD.
