Job readiness Easter Seals Class for Clients




Currently there are three clients of the Ability Alliance of West Alabama that are attending a three day job readiness class that goes over the basics of what you need to know about the workplace. I am attending the three day class with the clients and am helping them with their preparation at the Tuscaloosa ARC. There were many areas that the class covers such as: rules, timeliness, job etiquette, getting along with others at the workplace, job expectations, being on schedule, following tasks, and knowing roles at the job.
The first two days of the class are dedicated to learning about what to do on the job and how to act. Also how to dress was discussed and how much make up you need to wear to a job and how to behave in an interview. The clients were told to be polite and courteous to the job interviewer and also to be polite and courteous to others at the workplace. The role of a supervisor as a person of giving job tasks and managing workers was stated in the class and is reviewed on the second day of the class as well. On the third day of class the clients will be videotaped based on individual interviews that are conducted by the job readiness teacher. I will help one of the clients with work at the Ability Alliance of West Alabama's office shortly after the third day of the job readiness class. This class will help the client that I will be job coaching that is attending the class with knowing when to take breaks, how to follow instructions, what to wear to a job, and how to be respectful to others at the workplace. Shortly after the third day of the class I will start my job coaching of the client.
At first I will be showing the client around the Ability Alliance building and then teaching them how to clean the building. I will be doing with this with a picture book and reading job tasks to the client everyday that they will be working until they can get a full grasp on how to do their job and how to get to each room in the building. The client will be sweeping, mopping, taking out garbage and shredder paper, and also cleaning off tables five days a week.
