The Friends of Cyrus prevocational program provides key learning  experiences designed to prepare our individuals for paid employment and volunteer work opportunities. We focus on the individuality of each participant, assessing personal interests, level of preparedness, and overall strengths. While formal prevocational training takes place in the community, our passionate staff also convey general workplace knowledge in our day habilitation program.

FOC engages in a person-centered planning process, and outlines goals and in each individual’s Person Centered Planning Tool (PCPT).  We include participation in Prevocational Training in each individual’s ISP (Individual Service Plan), and provide strategies to assist our participants in reaching their goals.
