Job Placement

Proper job placement is an essential component for some individuals who may otherwise have difficulty finding a proper vocational fit. Instruction is also provided in essential job seeking and job keeping skills.

The Paragon Vocational Development Center's history of working with people with a variety of issues allows us to understand the issues and considerations that must be accounted for in job placement activities. The staff focuses on individual needs when considering: type of employment setting, accessibility and transportation availability, interpersonal interactions, job requirements, the employer's willingness to provide accommodations and the individual's desires and goals for their employment.

Transition Services

The Paragon Vocational Development Center works to provide a comprehensive range of services to aid area high schools in the successful transition of its students. These services can include career counseling and interest testing, evaluation and assessment, work experience facilitation or co-op programs. Services may also include work adjustment training at our work center or integrated enclaves and job coaching.

Work Adjustment Services

Work adjustment services are designed to assist an individual in developing the necessary interpersonal skills, work behaviors, attitudes and job performance required to obtain and maintain successful employment. This is primarily accomplished through use of vocational counseling, educational and skill instruction and behavioral modification techniques.

Work adjustment is an often overlooked yet critical component of many transition and placement plans
