Supported Employment Process for Youths
About this resource
If you are a youth and want some pre-employment training, you can join our Job Club program.
Job Club is a pre-employment training program for youth in Kamloops (ages 15-18) and is designed to help prepare youth with developmental disabilities for a paid job.
The program is held after school (3:30–5:00 pm) once a week (for 12 weeks) at the SMART Options office. We offer this program twice per year.
Some topics covered in Job Club include:
-goal setting and discovery,
-communication and listening skills,
-interview preparation,
-resume development,
-safety on the job, and
-a workplace field trip.
Once the program is completed, the individual should have a clear idea of places they want to apply, a resume, and interview skills, so they are prepared for our next step of job searching.
