"Hello, my name is Dorian, and I have a learning disability and Autism. I enrolled in a vocational training program that focused on independent living, basic living, social skills, and community participation. Through hands-on training and support from an experienced instructor such as Shanta, I developed my skills in customer service as a courtesy clerk/grocery bagger. After receiving various job skills in the vocational program within assigned worksites, I was thrilled to secure a job as a courtesy clerk/grocery bagger. The vocational training program not only equipped me with the necessary skills but also helped me build confidence and develop a strong work ethic. I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my interest in working and contributing to the community in the food industry. This job has given me a sense of purpose and independence, and I am grateful for the vocational training program that made it possible. I hope my story inspires others with special needs to explore their interests and pursue fulfilling careers."
