Vocational Educational and Career Development
In addition to offering superior specialized academic instruction by a highly trained team, a variety of specialized therapies, and a strong sense of community, Port View Preparatory® also offers vocational education and career development for our students. At Port View Preparatory®, the sky's the limit and we help instill a sense of possibilities in our students with varying degrees of complex challenges. Because vocational education and career development is a life-long process, instructional activities begin at the primary level and evolve as students' progress in age and maturity. Primary activities focus on promoting self-awareness while older students can begin to explore career interests and options, learn about personal characteristics, and gradually prepare to enter the world of work. Our school has established partnerships with various community organizations that provide career development and job experience for students who are prepared and eager to explore their fullest potential.

Gifted at The PREP Collective

In addition to vocational training at the school and community partnerships, students in the high school and Adult Transition classrooms run their own business, Gifted at The PREP Collective. The business is a boutique gift shop offering incredible gifts for any individual and for every occasion. Our Port View Spirit Wear is also sold through Gifted so that our schools mission and values can be shared with any individual shopping the botique. Gifted offers students a wide range of experience as they learn to dream up gifts, design spirt wear, calculate inventory, package and ship, and fulfill orders. Our hope is that through their business experience at Gifted, they will graduate PVP ready to apply for a job of their interest or develop their own business. Visit the Gifted link on our website for more information or explore the incredible gifts.

Equipping Students to Thrive

We strongly believe that our role extends beyond our school boundaries and our team does its best daily to help ensure that our students are not afraid or intimated by the outside world where we all must coexist – not only to survive but to thrive. Helping students reach their full potential is woven into our daily instruction, therapies, training, and activities. Our team is committed to providing the necessary steps and support for transitioning students into paying jobs and careers upon graduation.

With our career exploration, planning support, and community liaisons, students can align interests and skills with outside opportunities. Our support team members also function as career counselors and are trained to note general and specific interests, talents, and abilities to help guide and direct students into appropriate vocations. Based on each student’s individual job or career interests, abilities, and family backing, placements can be made.

Vocational Educational and Career Development

Port View Preparatory® has an enduring partnership with Elwyn, one of the nation’s oldest private non-profit organizations serving people with intellectual, developmental and behavioral challenges.* Through this partnership, Port View Preparatory® hopes to place graduating students in retail stores, grocery stores and numerous other businesses that welcome and employ individuals with special needs.
