REGION– Kerri Smitz, the C.O.O.R. Transition Employment Placement Specialist organized a paid 6-week work experience for local students.
Students from C.O.O.R. Adult Transportation Center, Roscommon, Houghton Lake, Grayling, Ogemaw Heights, Ogemaw Alternative, and Charleston Heston learned skills with the help of job coaches to prepare them for the future.
Before starting their jobs, students attend Zoom meetings to prepare them for what to expect.
Raking, sweeping, cutting grass, weed whipping, leaf blowing, planting, cleaning up brush, and painting, were just a few of the many tasks that the students mastered.
