Our Programs and Mission Work Hand-in-Hand
To achieve the mission and goals, the Center’s staff implements a well-rounded program. Our goal is to place participants in their least restrictive environment. We want to set people up to succeed!
Program Plan
The participant, the Center’s staff, and the family & support staff of the individual, are included in a team approach to review the individual’s current skill level, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and develop an approach to improve weak areas.
Pre- Vocational Training
Participants are assigned to a supervised work area. While in this area, they are working and earning a salary, and at the same time, improving their work skills and abilities.
Pre- employment Transitional Services
An ODC representative will identify and work with high school students who are transitioning from a school setting to competitive employment.
Program Funding and Operation
The Occupational Development Center is affiliated with the Lancaster County Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, and is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. We operate under the regulations of the PA Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) and the PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR).
