Arlington High School Transition Program seeking job placements for students

Outline of Program

The Community Work Program currently has three students who are 19 and 20 years old. They have completed all the academic requirements of high school, but need support in transitioning to employment. They are hard workers who act professionally in community settings. The Job Coach accompanies the students to all work shifts and provides training, modeling, and supervision to help the students succeed at the assigned tasks. This means that our work partners don’t have to manage our students directly. 
 

Our students excel at repetitive tasks. Some of the types of work our students enjoy and are experienced at include:

• Mailings 

  • stuffing and sealing envelopes, putting postage on mail using either a mail machine or sticking stamps by hand 

• Food Prep/Kitchen Work

  • Basic baking

  • Sandwich preparation

  • Cleaning refrigerators

  • Cleaning sinks

• Other Light Cleaning

  • Wiping down cafe tables and counters

  • Taking out trash

  • Breaking down cardboard recycling

  • Washing windows
