Career Planning

The Arc Mercer employs a caring and knowledgeable staff dedicated to making an individual’s career goal become a reality.   Upon entry, a meeting is conducted to discuss possible career paths and the training required to make the goal achievable.    Training can be catered to a specific career choice, or designed to experience many vocations in an effort to find an interest area.  Interpersonal skills, work behavior, soft skills, and more are intertwined into job training with the understanding that these qualities are just as important for employment success as the ability to complete the vocational tasks.   Once skills are mastered, Arc staff will assist in the job placement process from the interview through supports on the job.
