OUR SERVICES
Vocational
At COC, we involve the people with disabilities we support through a person-centered approach called the Personal Vision Plan. Everyone, with the assistance of their team, decides what their goals are and the types of job(s) they would like to pursue. We provide on-the-job training and support to help them learn the necessary job duties to be successful in employment.
Facility-Based Employment (FBE)
COC employs people with disabilities at facilities in Pella, Oskaloosa, and Indianola. We contract for production work with more than 30 companies to provide production services such as small parts packaging, general assembly, mail processing, digital document recording, shredding, delivery, and wood working.
Life Skills and Day Habilitation
In Indianola, we conduct training in various life skills such as independent living skills, social skills, and communication skills. In Pella and Indianola, day habilitation participants often practice these skills in the community in an integrated setting.
Community-Based Employment (CBE)
COC helps people with disabilities find and maintain employment, with an emphasis on finding the right job match for each person. We have helped people find employment in a variety of setting, including retail or grocery stores and restaurants, meal delivery, cleaning services, and production work in factories. This program is currently operating in Pella, Knoxville, Oskaloosa, Indianola, and Des Moines.
