Original Grant Overview
Goal
The Project Explore Program is a unique and non-traditional post-secondary program for adults with disabilities. In partnership with Lorenzo Walker Technical College and Moorings Park we strive to provide the students with an inspiring, real-world environment that promotes hands-on learning in many different areas of interest. We find this strategy increases not only employability skills but independence, self-advocacy, self-esteem and character building. Our goal is to help shape our students to be productive, respected, and happy adults within our community.
What will be done with my students
The Project Explore students are given the opportunity in our " classroom" to explore job areas of interest at the Moorings Park retirement community. The students are provided an opportunity to explore various fields in the workplace on a campus of 83 acres. While at work students are held accountable to specific standards set by the instructors and the Moorings Park expectations. Students will be evaluated daily while at work. They will continue to work on goals that have been developed specifically for their individual needs and areas of growth. Specifically, students will be evaluated in areas such as appearance, work ethic, showing initiative, completing a task in a timely manner, etc. The students will have the ability to earn a dollar per day at work. Each semester students will then be able to spend their earned money with a class trip to a store of choice. We were so grateful to have received this grant last year. It has proven to be such a success in enforcing optimal work ethics among our students.
Benefits to my students
Our goal is to help consistently reinforce expectations with a compensation program. We believe this incentive will help promote confidence, increase motivation, and ultimately get them prepared for future jobs. In addition to, students will be able to learn about budgeting, planning and saving, independent spending, and will ultimately increase their knowledge about compensation in the work place.
