As a guideline for skills necessary to be successful in Occupational
Skills Program at Central Lakes College, we have adopted an
Americans with Disabilities Essential Elements list for OSP. This is
a list of skills that details what school and workplace behaviors
will be necessary for the student to possess in order to benefit
from classroom activity and to be successful in community based
training.
- Have a past history of behavior
appropriate for the workplace
- Able to sit through a class
period and stay focused
- Be able to follow directions and
schedules
- Have exhibited potential for
training in the workplace
- Be able to communicate
- Comprehend program materials
- Have work readiness skills:
initiative, honesty, willingness to work, good grooming,
attendance based on industry standards
- Have transportation to school
and work
- Be able to live independently of
school supervision
- Demonstrate potential to perform
repetitive tasks and job tasks at a competitive level
- Be aware that relocation may be
necessary for employment
We recommend prospective students
with mental health issues or behavioral issues are in a stable
condition. We also suggest students with mental health or behavioral
issues are in a living environment that will support their efforts
in post-secondary education.
We recommend that prospective students with a history of
drug/alcohol addiction have been chemically free for one year prior
to enrollment and have completed a rehabilitation program.
