Vocational Evaluation is a process of assessing your skill level. Working one-on-one with Beacon Group employees, Beacon Group's Certified Vocational Evaluator assesses your employment capabilities through activities that measure interests, aptitudes, and abilities. The assessment creates a snapshot of your interests, abilities and needs that you can use to help you make employment decisions. It also helps Beacon Group counselors know what services you need in order to reach your employment goals.

If you would like to learn more about how Vocational Evaluation can help you or someone you know, please call Chuck Tiller at (520) 622-4874 extension 127.

Our Work Adjustment program offers you work-related group activities that teach the meaning and value of the work environment. You learn skills that help you learn new work behaviors and attitudes-skills that move you closer to your employment goals.

Many Beacon Group employees require special supervision and care in the workplace. Our Facility-Based Employment program provides you with the assistance you need in a work environment located within Beacon Group's facility. You'll work in a group setting and receive special supervision and training that supports your chosen employment goals.

Employees that work in the Facility-Based Employment program are paid and can work in the program for an indefinite period of time. The program provides real-world work experiences, thanks to projects brought to Beacon Group by businesses from a variety of industries, such as manufacturing, electronics, mailing, and packaging.
