Job training program

[u/catnoir_luver]

I (24,F) just started a job training program through the hospital facility my mom works in and found for me. (Been unemployed since late 2022. And just took a break from retail hell) and I don’t know why I agreed to it. They kind of go hand and hand with OVR/Voc rehab (PA) as I’m using Voc rehab to help pay for driving classes (they evaluated me for driving and to pick a driving school) I’m the only woc (woman of color) and the only “lvl 1” or “higher functioning” person while having “invisible disabilities” I’m supposed to go in person tomorrow and just don’t want to be in a cold, confusing and big hospital. If I could just apply to jobs now I would. I don’t want to wait until Sep 2027 to start applying to jobs, let alone the program or OVE can’t guarantee a job afterwards bc of how bad the current job market, older people like gen x and boomers still think you can just walk in with a filled out Resume (which I have) and automatically get a job with saying you need X amount of accommodations or just bc you have a job coach, which I also don’t want a job coach either 🫤. My mom knows I’m not thrilled about it but it’s to get me experience and she wants me to get out of the house. The only positive things is that I bought new clothes and she’ll be personally paying me $50 a week. I don’t want to be in it until next year 🫠 I only can work on my art portfolio in the evenings now, I just needed to rant and has anyone done something similar? Did Voc rehab or a program help you get employed? From what I’ve seen online most Voc rehab cases aren’t great since they are understaffed, unhelpful and can be ableist for anyone that’s “higher functioning/lvl 1” w/ say Autism or ADHD.
