Learn how youth with disabilities (ages 17-26) can become involved in this unique transition to work internship program for the 2020-2021 school year!
In partnership with Boca West Country Club, Unicorn Children’s Foundation and Unicorn Village Academy launched a job training internship program for young adults with disabilities in August of 2018. Interns ranged in age from 17-24 years of age who have an intellectual or developmental disability which makes it statistically more difficult for them to find jobs upon completion of high school. The unemployment rate for youth with disabilities is approximately 80% despite their ability and willingness to work.
Student Eligibility Criteria:
• Students with a variety of developmental disabilities
• Appropriate hygiene, social and communication skills
• Ability to take direction and change behavior
• Eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation
• Access public transportation
• Pass drug screen, background check, immunizations - whatever is required of other employees
• Desire to Work!
