Vocational development and real life job exploration are the primary goals of the LABBB Vocational Program. All students participate in vocational programming that is individualized. Each student has the opportunity to experience the comprehensive pre-vocational and vocational training available at LABBB.

The LABBB Vocational Program has been recognized statewide, nationally and internationally for excellence in vocational programming. The LABBB Program has received numerous awards for Best Practices and quality vocational programming. LABBB's community based worksites provide on-site LABBB staff supervision and unique work opportunities. LABBB has been able to maintain worksites for many years because of the quality of work performed by supervised students. The LABBB Program continues to comply with required industrial standards. Students do receive monthly paychecks.

LABBB students progress through a vocational model by working in various job cluster areas. Placements are based on each student's aptitudes, interests, worker traits, level of competence, level of independence and job availability. Students are required to follow all company dress codes and rules. All students are oriented to our highly-regarded pre-vocational, pre-career, occupational education, and career development model before and during their current work experience.

Worker behaviors, independence level, interpersonal skills and communication skills are all integral parts of a student learning to work in an industry setting. Prerequisite worker traits determine a student's readiness to progress along the vocational continuum. LABBB worksites help prepare students for long term post-22 placements. LABBB vocational counselors help guide students and families through the transition process.
