Community Work Adjustment Training (CWAT)
Job placement services are focused on finding the trained worker a job that utilizes his or her newly developed skills. These services offer complete support through the process with our Program Supervisors. This is a service known as Community Work Adjustment Training, where the primary goal is integration into the community with a successful return on investment into their self-work.
Overview
CWAT is a time-limited, individualized process that assists participants seeking employment to develop or reestablish work habits and behaviors, quality and quantity of work, personal and social skills, functional capacities, and attitudes appropriate to employment. These services utilize realistic work tasks to develop on-the-job behavior skills, proper work habits, interpersonal skills, work-related communication skills and to increase stamina. Businesses may refer to this as an internship.
CWAT is provided in an integrated work setting in the community.
