The Putnam County R-I Special Education Department’s Work/Career Study Program is designed to help eligible students explore a career or job interest in a hands-on manner. Through employment or career experience, students are provided with the opportunity to make a more informed decision about their future plans. The program utilizes supervision by both Putnam County R-I Staff and a community sponsor/employer. Students receive credit towards graduation. The amount of credit corresponds to the number of periods of VR time. Students in the Special Education Department who choose Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) as a course will be placed under the supervision of the VR Coordinator, Lisa Stobbe, with input from the counselor, principal, and special education director. Also, another aspect of the program is a referral to the VR offices in Kirksville. They can help provide services for college as well. Please see Mrs. Stobbe or Mrs. Monica Casady for the referral form.
