Prevocational Program

Independence doesn’t begin after graduation — it’s built step by step, every day. Our Pre-Vocational Program provides on-campus internship experiences that give students the chance to practice real-world skills in a supportive environment.

Learning Through Experience

Students rotate through a variety of on-campus roles designed to teach responsibility, teamwork and independence. Each experience is tailored to match ability levels while encouraging growth and confidence.

Current internship opportunities include:

  • Coffee Cart – Preparing and serving drinks, handling money and practicing customer service

  • Popcorn Cart – Managing inventory, preparing orders and delivering popcorn

  • School Store – Stocking shelves, assisting customers and learning basic retail skills

  • TimTV – Producing school announcements, practicing communication and building media skills

  • Timothy Cleaners – Learning organization and responsibility through laundry and cleaning tasks

  • Timothy Crafters – Creating handmade items that are sold at community events to support The Timothy Fund

Skills That Last a Lifetime

Through these on-campus internships, students develop:

  • Work readiness skills – arriving on time, following schedules and completing tasks

  • Communication and social skills – interacting with staff, peers and customers

  • Life skills – managing money, practicing organization and building confidence in routines

Preparing for the Future

The Pre-Vocational Program gives students a safe and structured place to make mistakes, try again and build the skills they will need for off-campus internships and, ultimately, for life after graduation. It is an essential bridge between classroom learning and the wider community.
