The participants are given various assignments to assist them in further development of their life management skills.
Work experience participants are given opportunities to work either at LMC or volunteer positions in the community. While at LMC, the participant is paid according to the quality and quantity of their work. If needed and appropriate, job-coaching services are also available.
At the end of the first six weeks, a meeting is held with the program participant, rehabilitation counselor, OWL staff and any other pertinent individuals of the participant's choice to review the progress made in the program as well as make additional vocational recommendations and decisions.
