Developmental Disabilities and Employability Skills and Opportunities
Learn about the organizations in our region that facilitate and provide job training
and community-based programs for individuals with disabilities, at-risk youth,
students in transition, and individuals facing challenges to finding employment.
Youth in transition are provided opportunities to experience different jobs, refine
skills, and adjust activities and training for various work environments. Successful
transition may lead to long term employment that supports employer goals and
staffing needs. Organizations such as Goodwill Akron and Portage County Board of
Developmental Disabilities assist individuals toward employment success.
