The general objective is to provide students with services necessary to make informed career choices and successfully complete their occupational education. All programs, campus organizations and activities and facilities are accessible to McFatter students with disabilities, allowing them to function as independently and effectively as possible while attending classes. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Social Security Administration when full-time status is reduced or concluded. The Act provides job training assistance for economically disadvantaged individuals and others facing serious barriers to employment who are in special need of such assistance to obtain productive employment. The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is a division of the Florida Department of Education.
Rehabilitative services are necessary when a disability interferes with a student's ability to work.
McFatter Technical Center's Office of Student Services and Exceptional Student Education Specialist assist those students receiving services from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. At McFatter Technical Center, assistance is provided to completers and leavers in obtaining employment, enrolling in further education or a combination of these two. This requires careful assessment of the student's abilities, aptitudes and interests. Instructors work cooperatively with our placement specialist to ensure successful placement for McFatter's students. Completers and leavers with marketable skills are subject to the follow-up process.
