To enhance the workplace skills of individuals in Arc’s Pre-vocational Industrial Services and to provide better customer service to business and industry, subcontract work is completed on-site at the customer’s place of business rather than at Arc. A qualified job coach will travel with a cadre of Arc individuals to the jobsite to complete the subcontracted work. This is an excellent opportunity for community integration, skills enhancement, mentoring, networking and partnership.
Individuals who work in our Pre-Vocational Industrial Services Workshop learn transferable work skills and soft skills needed to succeed in the workplace, all within the context of achieving individual goals. Skills developed include compliance to workplace regulations and rules, interpersonal workplace relationships, problem-solving, punctuality, and task completion. Individuals enrolled in Pre-Vocational Industrial Services are paid for work completed for local businesses and industries. Arc of Wabash County also operates Shark Shredding, a document shredding business, and a cardboard recycling service. All individuals in the Pre-Vocational Industrial Services receive guidance, mentoring, and supervision from qualified and trained job coaches. Many individuals in our Pre Vocational Industrial Services use the skills they learn to enter our Community Employment program to obtain competitive employment.
Grace receiving her 5 year service award at a Banquet last night for the Honeywell Center.
Most folks getting recognition got polite applause. The room erupted when her name was called and groups chanted her name.
The Honeywell staff sincerely love her.
