The goal of this program is to provide work evaluation, assessment and screening services to identify work interests, evaluate your potential for employment and identify programming options.

The evaluation process normally takes one to five days depending on the type of information that the individual and the referral source request. The Evaluator will identify vocational interests, aptitudes, abilities and other items. Usually the evaluation takes place at our office in Rockledge, however, our Evaluators do travel to schools and other sites in Brevard and Indian River Counties to provide evaluation services.

When the evaluation is completed, the Evaluator will schedule a final staffing upon the request of the referral source and/or client. During the staffing, the results of the evaluation will be discussed along with recommendations for programming. The Evaluator will prepare a final report for the referral source.

The goal of this program is to provide Community or Facility-based assessment to determine potential for employment and identify programming options through work at our Center or community employment.

The situational assessment normally lasts anywhere from 5 to 30 days. Individuals participating in a situational assessment in the Center in Rockledge will have an Evaluator identified to work them. Individuals participating in a Community-based assessment will work with a staff person from the Employment Services Program.

Pay for work at the Center in Rockledge is mainly paid on a piece-rate basis meaning individuals will be paid for what they produce. Pay for work in Community employment is normally paid at an hourly rate. Since this is an assessment period, the pay is usually at minimum wage.

Once the Situational Assessment is complete, the assigned staff person will schedule a staffing with the individual and the referral source if requested. Once information has been shared, a report will be prepared for the referral source.
