The DOR offers
DOR Student Services and

Student Services (Students Ages 16 to 21)
Activities that support you in exploring and preparing for the world of work. Services are based on your interests – you could try a bunch of activities, or just a few. They include:
-

-
Work experiences to help you find an employer that will let you get real-world work experience. This is a good way to try working.
-
Services that help you learn about enrolling in education and training programs that support your career goal.
-
Skills for work services that help you learn good work habits and skills to prepare for success on the job.
-
Self-advocacy services that help you to practice how to ask for what you want or need when you are at work.
