The program is open to Archway School students of all abilities and skills, ages 14-21, based on the Archway Schools’ main campus in Waterford and Evesham Townships. The program compliments career-related classroom lessons that include components of the New Jersey Department of Education Core Curriculum Content Standards for workplace readiness.
The program features a number of vocational and career training opportunities including: on-campus work experience, job training orientation, office work and production, classroom instruction, off-campus job samplings, sheltered workshop phrases, cooperative education and job placement. Archway’s Career staff incorporates classroom curriculum to the program to address each students’ IEP goals. Staff includes educators experienced in food service, multimedia design and technology, horticulture, job coaching and a certified New Jersey Department of Education Structured Learning Coordinator.
This program has several partnerships with local businesses to sustain meaningful employment opportunities for students. Off-campus jobs for students (ages 16-21) are through partnerships Archway has with successful businesses active in the local community. By partnering with other organizations that work to empower and promote the success of children, adolescents and early adults with special needs, the Career Education Program demonstrates leadership that provides direction to other organizations.
