Vocational Services

Employment Training is provided at our two workshops in Council Bluffs, Omaha, through work on contracts secured with local companies.  Clients learn job skills and earn competitive wages based upon individual levels of productivity.

Vocational Training programs include adult basic education (offered in Iowa by Iowa Western Community College), health and safety class, an on-line computer lab, monthly awards, and transitional services for high school students.

Supported Employment offers a full range of job placement, job coaching, and follow-up services. We start with an assessment that determines job interests and abilities and match our clients with the best available job. Download Supported Employment Brochure.  

Enclaves provide clients with a structured, work-training environment, within a local business, emphasizing the value of productive work and productive people.
