The clients of the Adult Rehabilitation Centre, located east of William Street in Midland, spend their days divided among three areas: vocational, academic instruction, and life skill instruction. Bob O'Hara is the supervisor of the vocational department, in which a maximum of 65 clients can be enrolled at any one time. The clients go through an eight week cycle, at the end of which they are assessed. Each client has his own schedule tailored to his or her needs, so many hours a week of vocational training, and so on. The purpose of the vocational skills * department is to teach the clients basic work skills in an environment that is as close as possible to that of a private industry, O'Hara says. Clients are taught basic procedures that are so basic to most people that they never think of them: how to work for eight hours, how to punch-a time clock, how to accept a change in the by Mrs. M.

O'Hara says that accepting criticism is a part of the vocational program, and that criticism can be a problem for some clients. Some clients have trouble accepting criticism, he said. Most of the clients who find a job find one in the immediate Midland area. O'Hara isn't sure how many clients graduate in a year, but he believes the number to be a handful. -A factor contributing to the low number of graduates is the poor employment market that faces many people and that makes it even harder for ARC clients to find a job. The ARC workshop turns out street signs, custom made signs, silk- screened t-shirts, assembly line and custom made ceramics, and takes in laundry from local industries like RCA, Bay Mills, and Pillsbury. The contract work includes an order of 45,000 bird houses for Sears. ARC product Clients of the Midland Adult Rehabilitation Centre are taught work skills, life skills, and academics.
