The offer of full-time employment represents a significant opportunity for community integration through a valued role. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) emphasizes supporting individuals in making informed choices about community-based employment opportunities (Task III.A.3: "Support individuals in pursuing self-directed community activities, including employment"). Option A (discuss the opportunity) aligns with this, as the job coach’s first step should be to present the full-time job offer to the individual, explore his interest, and ensure the decision reflects his goals and preferences, setting the stage for further considerations like stress or benefits.

Option B (review past employment) is less relevant, as the focus is on the current opportunity, not historical experiences. Option C (explore stress) and Option D (discuss benefits) are important but secondary steps that follow after confirming the individual’s interest in the opportunity. The PRA Study Guide underscores discussing employment opportunities as the initial step in supported employment, supporting Option A.
