The Special Services Program provides specialized certificate programs in Food Service, Office Skills, Child Care Attendant, Building Maintenance, Stocking & Merchandising, and Animal Healthcare. The programs are designed for students who have disabilities, but who, with occupational training, are able to obtain entry-level positions in competitive employment. Class sizes are small, and emphasis is on the completion of skills necessary for employment and independent living.
