The purpose of Pantheon Employment Readiness Training (PERT) is to provide a program that will facilitate our clients preparing for and engaging in voluntary integrated or supported employment services. By increasing a client’s likelihood for successful participation in Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVR), we feel we can further our mission to help individuals with the preferred outcome of community based employment to achieve their vocational goals.

Pantheon will promote this process through a variety of methods taking place in Waukesha County. Methods will include career exploration, job shadows, mock interviews, tours and skill instruction.

Pantheon will make use of more than two hundred and fifty business and agency relationships to expose our clients to a wide range of resources, businesses and learning opportunities in their local communities. The PERT program is designed to be time limited and coincide with our traditional center based employment services. Job keeping, co-worker and supervisor relationship skills taught during the program will be reinforced in the actual work environment. This program will be implemented by our trained vocational specialists who will conduct both the specific learning and community aspects of this program using a small group model.
