The quantitative goal of On the Job: A Creative Exploration is to engage 20 individuals with disabilities in a 12-week arts program to develop soft or social skills as they relate to workplace interaction and success. The qualitative goal of this project is to achieve 90 percent or higher satisfaction rate among people served toward a achieving a better understanding of social nuances in the workplace. At the beginning of the residency, teaching artists and participants will identify specific workplace skills or issues to be addressed during the residency. At the conclusion of the residency, participants will be surveyed to assess their level of satisfaction in learning and comprehension of these workplace skills.
One of the most significant results of this project was how the audience was able to open up more freely as weeks went by. Once trust was built, participants were able to express themselves and allow themselves to genuinely have fun. Everyone who participated was given equal opportunities to participate in all of the activities. There was absolutely full inclusion in each artistic practice.
