The Grissom Building and Donald A. Collins Habilitiaton Center offer adults with disabilities the opportunity to earn a paycheck while continuing to development necessary skills needed to gain community employment. The Adult Leisure Program moved to the Wildey Center in September, 2008 and serves as an activity center so that people have the opporutnity to choose alternative activities to regular work environments.
The Community Employment Services Department serves adults who are actively seeking employment within the community. This division of the Clermont DD program will meet with employers/business owners to inquire about open positions within their companies. Once an individual is matched with the job, staff from the Community Employment Services Department assist the individual with mock interviews. If the person is hired, a Job Coach works with the person to do the actual training. This happenes because it might take someone 4-6 weeks to learn the job successfully (depending upon the work skills of the individual) and an employer does not always have staff available to do the training.
