Student Services Program

Program Overview

Individuals eligible to participate in our programs should be sixteen or older, have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan with their school district, and a developmental disability. The work experience program provides an opportunity for students with disabilities to have a time limited work-based learning experience, with little to no work history, the opportunity to explore competitive intergraded work environments.

Working alongside a Job developer who assists participants learn how to engage in the workforce. The individuals will identify an employment goal, properly complete an employment application, prepare a resume, mock interviews, and utilize appropriate job search methods. NCI will serve as the employer of record and will be responsible for developing and monitoring the work experience opportunity with a business.
