The Vocational Training Center prides itself on putting people with all levels of ability to work in a fulfilling and positive way. Participants are able to receive training, learn a variety of new skills, and earn a paycheck for their hard work.
The staff work with the individual and family to customize a plan and build accommodations that meet an individual’s interests, skills and ability. Participants receive an evaluation, training plan and work station that it right for them.
