Program Purpose:

Individuals receive services such as vocational assessment, counseling, computer training, resume/interviewing skills training, job search skills, and job placement. Each student graduates with an entry-level competency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and QuickBooks. Students also develop the skills to conduct Internet job searches.
