This program is designed for individuals who may have personal or social problems, which interfere with their success on the job. Often these people lack self confidence or have limited interpersonal skills. They may have a poor recent work history, or may be changing careers, and need to modify previous work behaviors.
Participants attend class five hours a week.
The time is spent attempting to restore confidence in self and others. A special effort is made to assist the individual in gaining insight into motivation and behavior so that self-control and a sense of responsibility may be fostered. Through insight into attitudes, values, feelings, emotions and other related elements of behavior, a more realistic level of aspiration and approach to work may be established. Employers expectations are also emphasized. The goal of the Work Adjustment Training Program is to teach, in a real work setting, such things as punctuality, responding positively to supervision, relating appropriately to peers, putting in a full day without complaint and carrying out one's duties and responsibilities in a mature fashion.
