The Vocation Depot Is Seeking Host Worksites – Click for Info
How Does It Work?
The Vocation Depot, Inc. will serve as the Employer of Record & will pay the wages to the individual in training. Workers’ Compensation is provided by the State of Florida, Vocational Rehabilitation Division, therefore there is no cost or risk to the Employer providing the training. Once the Host Worksite and The Vocation Depot agree to work together, a Memorandum Of Understanding is signed.
Potential positions are identified by the host worksite and the job coach; the job coach will determine which student is a match for the position. A mock interview will then take place with the employer and student.
A job coach will be available to work with the student and host worksite management if any issues arise or extra support is needed. You will never be left without The Vocation Depots’ guidance.
