Overview

- You gain self-esteem and a sense of purpose.
- You interact with other people and may develop a larger social network.
Vocational training can help teens and adults:
- Identify their strengths, interests, and physical skills.
- Train for a particular job.
- Prepare for work in many different areas, such as in offices, restaurants, hospitals, stores, or factories.
