Vocational Services
In the vocational area, each participant is offered work/training that promotes as normal a work environment as possible according to the participant’s abilities, interests and needs. The purpose of this program is to help develop the participants’ self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth by giving them an opportunity to be productive, make choices and feel needed and accepted. WORK ACTIVITIES Sheltered Workshops are CARC-owned facilities where a variety of contracted work/training options are provided ranging from arts and crafts production to shipping pallet manufacturing. Community Work Crews perform janitorial services and grounds maintenance throughout the parish under the supervision of a CARC employed supervisor.
VOCATIONAL SERVICES Supported Work provides participants with the opportunity to gain individual employment in the community. Participants are given assistance in completing job applications, interviewing and one-on-one training by a CARC employee for a specified time once a job has been secured.
