Vocational training for the disabled is designed to work with the abilities of the disabled to give them skills in fields in need of workers. Common training programs teach skills for fields including automotive service, custodial training, office work, food service, industrial and retail.
Many community resources offering vocational training also offer placement services to match disabled students with post-graduation employment. Developing resumes, interview coaching, and job search skills are some common services.
After training is completed and a job is located, vocational centers offer supportive employment to some former students. Workers from the center accompany the disabled person to the work site and offer on-the-job coaching.
