Work Experiences allow a customer to be placed at a business or agency within the community to learn skills for competitive, integrated employment. Work Experiences can take place as a volunteer internship or as temporary paid work.​

 

The duration and schedule of the Work Experience are designed with the customer's needs and desires in mind. However, all Work Experiences are short-term (8-12 weeks) and part-time, with a max of 20 hours per week. 

​

Work Experience training can be done in a group and/or one-on-one. Work Ready provides After School Work Experiences for students, with additional Work Experience options during school hours for 18+ students, operating around their school schedule.

 

Work Ready’s job coaches are background-checked and credentialed through UNT, and Work Ready provides transportation to and from the job site.
