What Is Prevocational Training?
Prevocational training is practice for work. It teaches skills people need before a job. The skills are simple. They include being on time, following steps, using tools, talking to others, and staying safe.
People often ask, what is prevoc material? These are the simple tools, pictures, and guides we use to make learning easy. Training is hands-on and friendly. It moves slowly. The teacher shows, then the person tries. We cheer for small wins.
