Are you a high school student entitled to special education services, looking for assistance in receiving training in a specific vocation and developing skills that will help you learn to live independently, speak up for yourself and explain your disability?
Ask your special education teacher if VESS is right for you!

Vocational Education for Special Students

Our main office and tutoring stations…
are located in the Vocational-Technical Building at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Some of the training areas available are on campus, some are at non-paid job sites off campus in Fort Dodge and some are a combination of both.

In addition to assistance with job-specific skills training…
we also offer a variety of skills classes such as how to live independently, how to keep and find a job and how to advocate for yourself.

Many of the same accommodations you’ve received to assist you academically are provided in your classes, as indicated in your Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Tutor time helps you study for exams and organize and complete assignments so you get the most out of your training.

If you want to learn more…
please call Iowa Central at (515) 576-0099. Dial extension 2382, 2383 or 2119 to schedule a visit after you’ve let your district know you’re interested in VESS!
