The Career-Life Engagement and Readiness (CLEAR) Program is designed for students who have intellectual disabilities, but who, with occupational training, are able to obtain gainful employment in competitive, high-demand occupations. Students are provided the opportunity to obtain a Certificate of Occupational Training (COT) as well as industry-recognized credentials such as SkillsUSA®, Food Handler, and Microsoft® certifications. Since the purpose of CLEAR is to prepare individuals for the workforce, it does so holistically by including four classifications of learning outcomes: Personal, wellbeing, technical, and occupational skills. Each category supports significant and essential learning in both personal and professional settings.
