Course Description

The course explores the essential processes, tools, and resources necessary for human service employees as they assist job seekers with disabilities. Students will gain competence in effective discovery and assessment, job development and placement, employer outreach and negotiation, and workplace supports. Foundations of community employment will be presented and field work is required. Students should be currently working in the field or be willing to engage in volunteering or service learning to complete field work. An ACRE (Association of Community Rehabilitation Educators) Certificate of Achievement will be issued for students in the field who successfully pass the course.


Essential Objectives

This includes demonstrating the knowledge needed to assist job seekers in developing portfolios, resumes, cover letters, letters of introduction, references, and other job application documents in various media, including electronic and print and interviewing.

10. Demonstrate the ability to develop workplace support plans for job seekers, including helping individuals to understand the social/behavioral expectations of the workplace culture.

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance and participation in classes are essential for success in and are completion requirements for courses at CCV. A student's failure to meet attendance requirements as specified in course descriptions will normally result in a non-satisfactory grade.

  • In general, missing more than 20% of a course due to absences, lateness or early departures may jeopardize a student's ability to earn a satisfactory final grade.
  • Attending an on-ground or synchronous course means a student appeared in the live classroom for at least a meaningful portion of a given class meeting. Attending an online course means a student posted a discussion forum response, completed a quiz or attempted some other academically required activity. Simply viewing a course item or module does not count as attendance.
  • Meeting the minimum attendance requirement for a course does not mean a student has satisfied the academic requirements for participation, which require students to go above and beyond simply attending a portion of the class. Faculty members will individually determine what constitutes participation in each course they teach and explain in their course descriptions how participation factors into a student's final grade.

Accessibility Services for Students with Disabilities:


CCV strives to mitigate barriers to course access for students with documented disabilities. To request accommodations, please
  1. Provide disability documentation to the Accessibility Coordinator at your academic center. https://ccv.edu/discover-resources/students-with-disabilities/
  2. Request an appointment to meet with accessibility coordinator to discuss your request and create an accommodation plan.
  3. Once created, students will share the accommodation plan with faculty. Please note, faculty cannot make disability accommodations outside of this process.


Academic Integrity


CCV has a commitment to honesty and excellence in academic work and expects the same from all students. Academic dishonesty, or cheating, can occur whenever you present -as your own work- something that you did not do. You can also be guilty of cheating if you help someone else cheat. Being unaware of what constitutes academic dishonesty (such as knowing what plagiarism is) does not absolve a student of the responsibility to be honest in his/her academic work. Academic dishonesty is taken very seriously and may lead to dismissal from the College.
