Laurel Hill School to Host Job-a-Palooza

In partnership with Vision of Hope, Laurel Hill School will host a “Job-a-Palooza” on Friday, March 10, from 10 am to 1 pm, for Okaloosa County Schools District’s ESE (Exceptional Student Education) students in grades 9-12. This opportunity is for students who might qualify for or benefit from Vocational Rehab services. Students will have opportunities to learn about different companies, interact with potential employers, learn more about available community resources, self-advocacy, life, and social skills. Local businesses and service organizations will conduct meet and greets, work task demonstrations that someone might perform in the various jobs, and even allow for hands-on participation. Food trucks will be on-site during the event. 

Vision of Hope is a nonprofit organization providing job skills training, employment placement, and internship opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental differences.
