Placement of our high school students at community businesses in jobs that suit their interests and abilities is another key component of a ClearWater Academy education. We support students with job coaches who help them apply strategies learned at school, offer encouragement and provide direction until independence is attained.
Over the years, ClearWater students have worked in body shops, churches, restaurants, farms, consignment shops, veterinary clinics and pet spas, just to name a few. Our current Career Development business partners are She Craft Co Asian American Eats and Treats, Real Life Center, Mimmo’s Gourmet Pizza, Spezzano’s Village Market, New Hope Pre-School, and Clothes Less Travelled. We have found that our students, when placed in the right environment along with the help that they need, learn important career skills that they carry with them long after they graduate from ClearWater Academy.
