Hands On Vocational Explorations

Hands On Vocational Explorations Hands On Vocational Explorations is a program created by Hands On Educational Svcs. to assist young

Vocational Explorations is modeled after our award-winning training "Hands On @ Hyatt", which started in 1998. Our program is made possible through a unique partnership with FL Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, school districts, and local business partners who allow our students to participate in mini internships. These business-based experiences help the students to learn more about various industries before they leave high school.

Here we have Spenser with his 2 supervisors, Maryvette and Candi at Hyatt Place in downtown Tampa. Spenser was hired as a busser. He has done so well that they have expanded his duties! He now is in charge of restocking the breakfast bar, keeping that area clean, as well as delivering orders to tables. Candi says he is very friendly, smiles a lot and interacts well with customers. What a good report Spenser!! Many thanks to Maryvette, Candi and all at Hyatt Place for having the Big Guy and giving him this opportunity.... Another big hand goes to the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for being our funder.. Keep up the good work Spenser! It shows and it is recognized!

Here we have Mr. Ethan, an intern with Publix @ Hyde Park, at his graduation celebration! Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to have his celebration at two different locations. Pictured are Alexandra and Joi, his direct supervisors along with Jackie, the Manager of the store. Also pictured, you will see a very proud Ethan and his Mom Marisol, who is even more pleased. Ethan will be continuing his work with Publix since they asked him to stay on! All were very pleased with his work ethic, his timeliness and his thoughtfulness on the job. One of their quieter employees, but got the job done quite well. Many thanks to Jackie and her team for having Ethan, as well as hiring him long term. Also, a big shout out to the Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, our funder who makes this all possible. Ethan graduates from high school in the spring of 2026 and hopes to attend college in Orlando. His Manager Jackie has said she could be helpful in a potential transfer to a Publix in Orlando while he goes to school. What a deal! I certainly would take her up on that Ethan!
