Our goal is to get our trainees to work! You can help us by:
• going to local businesses and asking them if the will welcome site visits and share information about their interview and training process,
• helping us developing opportunities for employment and/or paid internships, and
• working with employers to get copies to training manuals/training videos to use for vocational training in our workshops.
You can also help us by getting donations related to workshops units so that our trainees get a chance to use real workplace tools and materials to train for real jobs with our local employers!
