Skills of Life Cafe was developed from a passion to support our local teens and young adults with mild intellectual disabilities by providing a supportive, yet challenging community based vocational training program. Our goal is to foster strength in abilities, improve self-awareness in presence and service, and to support the path to task independence. These enhanced skills can then be bridged to true opportunities in attaining competitive and meaningful employment in the community they live.
Skills of Life Cafe offers a 90 day job training internship program. We have created a curriculum that will place training emphasis on the hard skills of safe handling and use of appliances to make hot and cold beverages, light serving, bussing, and customer interface skills. In addition we will be offering training and support to the “hidden skills” that are known as the soft skills of behavior awareness, time management, organizational skills, working as a team, and how to flow with task rate of speed given the changing of customer flow.
