Like everyone, the work a person can accomplish goes a long way in building self esteem and a sense of purpose in life.

At the Village of Progress, each of the men and women who attend are given an opportunity to accomplish meaningful work at a level that’s right for them.

For men and women at the Village who have a greater ability and interest in vocational work will find a variety of job opportunities. The program provides an employment environment that is safe, well-supervised, and friendly. Staff will of course work with individuals and their families to explore the possibility of employment in the community.

When a community-based job is matched to an interested candidate, the Village will help the new relationship start off on the right foot. Programs we provide may include job readiness instruction, job site training, help with integration into the work environment, and counseling to address job behaviors.
