Job Coaching 3

Today was the final day of the job coaching training. Kevin Cook presented a lot of good material in these three days. Now the challenge for all the Caritas Cambodia projects is to utilize that information in strengthening our support of appropriate employment for people with disabilities.

The group discussions throughout the training were short and focused and everyone participated.
Many, the director of a large autism school, reflected on how they could implement Kevin’s ideas.
At the end of this third day, Kim Ratana, the Caritas Cambodia director, presented certificates to all who participated.

Job Coaching

Caritas Cambodia has organized a training on job coaching for this week, inviting all the Caritas projects that involve people with disabilities. Mr. Kevin Cook, an American now resident in Thailand, is teaching the theory and practice of successfully finding appropriate employment for people with physical and intellectual disabilities.

The training was originally scheduled for five days but then the government threw a wrench in the works by declaring yesterday a holiday on three days’ notice which necessitated shortening the time with Kevin to three days.
The style of the training involves a lot of interaction and discussion in the table groups and then quick summaries of their thought and ideas.
