...are incorporated into courses that focuson the food services industry, retail business and clerical work. Eligible students are enrolled in classes at Rockland Community College. Visits to county businesses and industries give young men and women an opportunity to consider future options.
Students may also spend time working with
an Enclave or, in ARC's Pre-Vocational setting.
Enclave Employment Under the supervision of an ARC staff person, a group (enclave) of people works on-location at one of several Rockland County based companies. The enclave work-site requires that workers be proficient in the production or packaging of items specific to that industry. The ARC enclave supervisor serves as a liaison between the manager of the particular company and the enclave employees.
Pre-Vocational Training During the transition from high school to the adult world, or when moving from one type of job to another, ARC's pre-vocational training gives people an opportunity to hone skills and consider possible employment options. With the Congers based ARC Enterprises as its headquarters, young men and women learn the ropes of employment in a full-service packaging and fulfillment industry. Oversight, assessment of skills and feedback from the employee-in-training enable ARC to prepare a person for his or her entrance into the working world.
