Pre-Vocational

The concept behind our pre-vocational sessions is to identify existing and potential abilities of an individual and to maximise their present and future quality of life.

We focus on educational courses, life skills and promotion of independent living skills to enable progress to further study, training or employment. All clients are given the opportunity, as appropriate, to work towards nationally recognised qualifications and awards.

Clients are guided to study at their own level, maximising opportunities to reach their individual potential. The qualifications often allow achievement to be accredited.

All our clients are strongly encouraged to look at their strengths and build upon them in order to progress effectively and manage their own lifestyles and choices.   This is done at an individual’s own pace.

Our personal development courses help to develop an individual’s confidence, explores their decision making and learning styles with a view to setting realistic personal and vocational targets.

DI understands that people with a disability often face considerable barriers when competing in the open job market.   To this end, DI endeavours to help our clients overcome these barriers and with partners we aim to offer a comprehensive ‘moving on’ service.   With our partners, we have a wealth of local knowledge and business contacts and can assist our clients to find voluntary work opportunities, access further education and training and to consider options for paid employment.
