The Center for Living and Learning vocational rehabilitation program prepares our trainees to work independently in the community. This is a multi-faceted, individualized process that can look different for each trainee. We believe in a holistic approach that supports the individual’s mental, physical and social health. The trainees attend our program five days a week from 8am – 12pm. Through lessons, group therapy, and on-site work experience, trainees build job skills and life skills which prepare them to work independently. The Center’s Vocational Program is a certified Community Rehabilitation Provider with the Vocational Rehabilitation Program at Tennessee Department of Human Services.

This program has proven to enhance the lives of the trainees and result in volunteer and/or job placement for the majority of participants. As the trainees demonstrate appropriate skills on a consistent basis, we begin the process of job placement. In order to ensure successful, long-term placement in the community, we provide job coaching to the employee and disability training to the employer. Because we are able to offer this type of support, our trainees are able to maintain successful employment.
