For a meaningful life.
"I
decided to go to Benedictine 'cause I felt it had more to offer: the job
training, support and counseling. I love being here, and I'm going to
have another great year. I hope to graduate next year and, you know, have
a happy, healthy, productive life and continue my success." |

| At Benedictine, we
recognize the value of a meaningful and gratifying vocation. Working productively
builds self-esteem and aids the growth of social skills. It promotes independence.
With proper supervision and counseling, its positive impact on an adult
with a developmental disability can make the difference between getting
by day to day and truly living. Working with local employers, we place
students in the community in part-time, well-supervised, competitive jobs,
appropriate to their level of ability, where they begin to understand
the world of employment. Benedictine's vocational education facilities
provide an environment in which Benedictine students gain "real life"
work experience in a variety of settings, including our on-campus Greenhouse,
Laundromat, Mobile Cleaning Service, and Auto Service Station.
In addition, the
Benedictine Industrial Training Center offers contractual services
Screen Printing, Embroidery, Commercial Printing and Color Copying, Graphic Design, Light Packaging Flower Arrangement,
and Office Cleaning to the local business community.
