Vocational Services include Individual Placement, Employment Solutions Consulting, and
Supported Employment Programs that provide training and support for those seeking and securing successful employment in the community, as well as placement on campus in the business operations or other areas.

Career Services Center: The Career Services Center acts as the “employment agency” for all placements and is the hub of the Vocational Services. Career counseling, assistance in filling out applications, interview training, and referrals to work skills classes are offered through the Career Services Center. Located on campus, the center also posts job opportunities and has a computer lab with internet access, fax services and reference materials for those seeking employment.

Community Employment Program: Individual placements in community employment provide challenging opportunities for Program Participants. Lambs Farm employment specialists provide on-the-job training and follow-along support. Training for employers on working with individuals placed is also available through our Employment Solutions Consulting Program. Using a team approach, Supported Employment Programs meet the staffing needs of local businesses by providing an enclave of two to eight workers along with a job coach. Job tasks are analyzed, training procedures are implemented, and on-going support is provided by the job coach on-site at the facility. Areas of specialization include janitorial, food service, manufacturing, and shipping/receiving.

Campus Programs: The Lambs Farm campus businesses and other areas serve as vocational training sites for Program Participants and teach skills which are directly related or can be easily adapted to any industry. The business operations offer training in areas including food service, store stocking and maintenance, customer service, shipping and receiving, animal care, and food production. They include the Country Inn Restaurant, Farmyard with Children’s Attractions, Pet Shop, Thrift Shop and Aunt Mary’s Country Store & Bakery. In addition, campus training is provided through the support services department and administrative offices in such areas as clerical work, janitorial services, and grounds keeping.

Seniors' Program: For those individuals who are no longer interested in working but want to remain active, Lambs Farm offers a retirement day program. Participants engage in a variety of activities like current events, arts and crafts, Bingo at the local senior center, as well as bike riding and other forms of exercise designed to slow down the effects of aging. Activities are designed to help individuals to maintain cognitive abilities. The goal of the Seniors Program is to help Participants to have enjoyable and productive retirement years.

Vocational Work Center: Located near the Lambs Farm campus, the Vocational Work Center provides training opportunities to individuals who need a more structured work environment. Workers undertake subcontract jobs such as assembly, packaging, sorting, mailing services and more.
