Vocational Rehabilitation Services: Jack's Jobs

Watch this funny video that mixes an informational interview with a high school's mascot, the Lumber Jack. Watch how the Lumber Jack gives silent comedic relief while several students show case how Vocational Rehabilitation Services helped them with college and careers after high school. The real question is if The Jack is working hard or hardly working!

The project, Innovative Partnerships for Advancing Youth Employment, was the concept of PACER. All of the teens involved in the internship project have disabilities, and they learned new job skills while creating several videos to teach others how to navigate their own transition into adulthood after high school. This innovative PACER project was funded by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

The project, which provided a paid internship opportunity for students with disabilities, was a creative collaboration of postsecondary programs, workforce development, PACER Center staff, and students from two high schools. The intended video audience is for students, family, professionals, and teachers.

Nice video. It goes to show that the eye can be deceiving; nobody would ever know that any of the people in this video had a disability. Yet some people unfortunately would derail them for having a disability.
