Classes & Course Listing

Classes are held every Thursday and Friday on campus. Class size is kept small, usually 10 students in each seminar room.
The focus of course content is on the development of employment and independence skills, to increase the student’s chance of success within their work experiences and in life generally.
In addition to attending class, instructors encourage students to participate in College activities as they wish.  Eg. athletic games, coffee with friends, use of library computers, etc.
We are always concerned with our student’s well-being and will assist them with other services wherever possible.

Testimonial

"As a parent I can't say enough about the TVP Program and its instructors!  Not only did it help my son gain the skills he needed to be an independent and employed member of our community, it also gave him pride and lifelong friendships that can only accompany a "College" experience!"  Yvette Tayler, mother of Vaughn - Graduate
