WorkAbility 1 

    “The Sky’s the Limit”! Nothing can stop these students...not even their disabilities.

     The Mission of the Aldar Academy WorkAbility 1 program is to provide all of our eligible students with an opportunity to participate, regardless of race, culture, background, or disability. At Aldar Academy we believe that Transition prepares youth for their adult roles (Productive Worker, Contributing Citizen, Responsible Family Member, and/or Lifelong Learner).

     We start the program with Career and Interest Assessments. Throughout the school year the students receive Vocational classes and services geared toward creating and filling out Job Applications, creating Portfolios, Career Research Inventories, Job skills Questionnaires, learning "How To Keep A Job", College Tours, Transition/Career Fairs, and many other useful informative strategies.

     When the students prove themselves ready, they are eligible to work off campus during school hours to learn job skills or participate in R.O.P. - BOTH are paid positions.

    This has been a very successful program for our students. Our students are empowered to become participants and contributors for their families that have all too often felt the ill effects of past poor decision making. By empowering our students and building competence in job seeking skills and certification in specific skill sets, our students become productive members of society.
