OUR EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS
ECVC operates three primary programs designed to help individuals with disabilities achieve their vocational goals.
TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM
This program offers time-limited services, usually no more than four months, to help an individual obtain competitive employment. Specific services within this program include assessment, job readiness training, job placement assistance, and on-the-job training once employment is obtained. ECVC has a contract with the NC Division of Vocational Rehabilita-tion Services to provide these services. Other funding arrange-ments may also be accepted, e.g. workers compensation, social ser-vices, public schools, private pay, etc.
Adult Developmental & Vocational Program (ADVP)
This is a long-term program that provides ongoing work and day activities for persons with more severe disabilities. Work activities occur within ECVC’s production contracts. Day activities include instruction in daily living skills, socialization, leisure skills, etc. These activities occur both within the facility and in the community. There is no time limit on enrollment. Rather, enrollment is based on client needs and preferences. ECVC has a contract with Trillium Health Resources, the local management entity re-presenting the NC Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services to provide these services. Other funding arrangements may also be accepted.
Supported Employment
This is a long-term program that assists persons with more severe disabilities to obtain and maintain community employment. This program is has two distinct service phases. The first, an intensive service phase, involves assessment, job development, placement, and one-on-one job site training. The second phase, an extended service phase, involves long-term follow-up to help with job retention. ECVC has contracts with the NC Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to provide the intensive service phase and with Trillium Health Resources to provide the extended service phase. Other funding arrange-ments may also be accepted.
