Supported Employment

GCRC offers a Vocational Training program that is designed to help program participants develop basic retail skills with the eventual goal of finding community employment. Program Participants work on developing both the soft and hard skills needed to succeed in a community employment setting. Every six months a work readiness evaluation is performed. This evaluation is used to determine which soft skills need to be targeted. Every participant has specific work goals as outlined in their Service Plan. Progress on these specific objectives is evaluated each quarter. This service is offered in both Safford and Willcox. 

"Two of my three disabled sons (attend the programs) at GCRC.. One in in the employment (program), the other is in the Day Program. The (son) employed (at GCRC) and loves his work. He loves helping the staff and customers. (Working at GCRC has helped develop his work ethic, and develop his community safety and social skills."

In addition to providing vocational training, GCRC provides for the overall social needs of our participants by offering throughout the years opportunities to interact their coworkers in a non-work social setting. Examples include the annual Halloween dance, the spring formal dance, Thanksgiving dinner for participants and their families, and other holiday events.
