The Arc Northwest Mississippi is excited to continue the growth of our Job Readiness Program to help individuals ages 14 -21 with intellectual and developmental disabilities gain the skills needed to be successful employees. 

​

We teach under 5 different categories:

• Career Exploration

• Workplace Readiness Training

• Work-Based Learning Experiences

• Self-Advocacy Training

• Post-Secondary Education Training

​

Each category will allow your child to learn critical life and work skills that will assist them in living a more independent life and becoming more successful in the workforce. 

​

Our 2024-2025 classes will be held in many formats to meet the needs of our students: virtually with live instruction at a scheduled class time and in person classes held at our office or at your child's school.

​

The Arc NWMS believes that ALL people deserve the opportunity to work. We are proud to offer classes to students of all support levels and needs: 

• Community-Based Classes (High Support)

• Inclusion Classes (Medium Support)

• College Bound and College Level (Advanced Class) with individual customized lessons available. 

​

Please allow us the opportunity to assist your child in preparing, planning, and making informed decisions in order to enter the workforce.
