Development Training

Contractual Employment
The Work Center provides work training opportunities to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program seeks to enhance the people we support and their ability to engage in productive work activities through a focus on cooperation, attendance, productive capacity and task completion. In addition to paid work opportunities, the folks we support will also receive instruction in physical fitness, computer skills, workplace relationships, volunteerism, self-advocacy, personal care and other hobbies.
