Skills and Activities
“We teach students the importance of getting a job, how to work, how to keep a job and how to act appropriately within the community.” Anne Chen, ADP Coordinator
For young adults who have graduated from PACE School at the age of 22, PACE offers exposure to work environments where they can hone the skills necessary to perform a specific job. Job skills include mail delivery, filing, sorting, stocking, cleaning, and organizing. Arts and crafts and library sessions maintain the creative side for a comprehensive day experience.
