Anthony
Anthony, a 21-year-old student with autism, had held several jobs in the past but none had been in an office position. Anthony and his counselor were seeking a training opportunity that would provide him with the skills and workplace behaviors needed to hold a full-time job in an office setting. Anthony enrolled in DePaul Industries’ free Youth Scholarship Training program for students with disabilities, ages 21 & under. While at the Training Center, Anthony made dramatic improvements as he learned new clerical skills and appropriate workplace behavior. Anthony doubled his typing speed and successfully completed advanced portions of the Word and Excel programs, exceeding the intermediate sections that typically are part of DePaul’s Youth Training Program. Ten days after graduating from DePaul’s Youth Scholarship Program, Anthony started his full-time job as Office Assistant 2 with the Department of Motor Vehicles. |
