This program has allowed our members to understand their strengths and weaknesses in learning how to integrate back into mainstream employment. Our program is a hands-on experience of the day-to-day operations of an office. You can learn accounting skills, receptionist skills, janitorial skills, computer skills, data entry and also assistance in becoming a public speaker as well as an advocate.
