Basic Work Skills Programs

We offer five different basic work skills programs for our clients. Our on-campus programs helps clients learn work skills, coping skills and gain valuable experience in Production, Retail, Food Service, Management and Office environments.

Clients that successfully participate in our on-campus programs become eligible to enroll in the Ready to Work Program at Piedmont Technical College. Clients graduating from the Ready to Work Program earn a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, OSHA Training Certification, and a Forklift Operator Certification.

Clients who complete both phases of the program are typically hired within ten days for higher paying jobs that allow them to afford local housing and earn enough to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
