The
Scioto County Board of Developmental Disabilities (SCBDD) Bridges program held
a graduation ceremony for nine participants of the six-week program on July 25
at the Vocation Station.
Bridges assists
under-served areas of the state in developing employment services for youth
with developmental disabilities as they transition from school to employment. The
students participate in job shadowing, job coaching and a variety of
educational opportunities to help them achieve their employment goals.
The overall goal of
the project is to enhance career exploration options and increase employment
outcomes by developing a collaborative network of services that will assist
students in achieving their employment goals.
Those graduating from the program include: Jeromy Cooper,
Jonathan Maynard, Chelsee Stiltner, James Charles, Jacee Yearwood, Ivy
Crabtree, James Madden, Ricky Kelley, Tyler King and Dustin Adkins.
