Work Initiative Network

Our WIN program is similar to our WRP program and offers Putnam County high school students who have an IEP and who are working towards a local diploma with vocational skills training as part of their school curriculum. Students are provided with practical, paid vocational experiences in the community at businesses such as Marshall’s, Linens N Things, Subway, Mrs. Green’s, and Eckerd Drugs. Individuals work closely with a job coach, who slowly fades out as students feel more comfortable with their new tasks. Training is also available in computer skills, work etiquette, completing job applications, writing a resume, and interviewing skills. The objective of the program is to help students use their work experiences to make realistic, informed choices in planning for life after high school.
