JOBS works with youth (ages 16–22) who are out of school and have behavioral or severe emotional disabilities. The goals of the program are to help youth find and maintain employment and to support successful independence. LCCDRJP began managing JOBS in January, 2008.

• Build “employment portfolios”, which contain important
  employment-related documents

  interviewing skills
• Arrange job shadow experiences, volunteer work & internships
• Troubleshoot potential barriers to employment, such as
  transportation and scheduling
• Maintain good communication with employers
• Find and maintain stable housing and attain driver’s licenses,
  when necessary
