Workability II Program Overview
Workability II, enacted in the Fall of 1985, was designed to enhance collaboration between the State Department of Rehabilitation and Education and is established as the first official cooperative program between these two agencies. The program operates from Adult Schools and Regional Occupational Programs in conjunction with local DR offices to provide a blending of vocational services to adults who meet acceptance requirements. There are currently 18 projects operating statewide from a combined funding base provided through the State Department of Rehabilitation and local Educational agencies. Our local program has been in operation since 1991.

Workability II serves referrals from the Department of Rehabilitation and provides personalized job placement services and training assistance. The WAII Specialist assists clients in meeting a goal determined by the client and Rehabilitation counselor.

Some of the services that are provided are:

Job Seeking Skills

Resume Writing

Interviewing Techniques

Application Preparation

Individualized Job Placement Services

Workshops

WAII provides a system of ongoing support through a partnership with the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Regional Occupational Programs (ROP), and the California Department of Rehabilitation for adults to reach self-sufficiency and attain employment.

You will also receive follow-up services to assure a successful relationship exists between our agency, the employee, and the employer. Employers are eligible for Federal and State tax incentives from hiring Department of Rehabilitation clients. The Department also has an On-the-job training allowance that encourages employers to hire individuals with disabilities.

There is no cost to participants for these services. If you are interested in seeing how the Department of Rehabilitation can assist you, there is an Orientation every Tuesday at 9 a.m. Space is limited so reserve a seat by calling Linda Baker, WAII Specialist at (530) 822-5120 ext.3026.
