Course description: The Workplace Training in Attitudes, Skills, and Knowledge (TASK) at the University of Fraser Valley is an eight-month pre-employment program for adult students with disabilities who want to explore employment opportunities, learn self-management, and prepare for a job in a safe and supportive classroom environment.
TASK students will participate in a series of employability workshops, including Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), FoodSafe, First Aid, and WorldHost. Students will also learn basic computer skills and get support as they explore career options, prepare their résumé, and rehearse for interviews.
