Skill Building Services refers to jobs and training located at our facilities. Workers are assigned to to the recycling/ composting and assembly/kitting/packaging contract work area per abilities and capabilities. This program can help persons with disabilities learn and master basic vocational skills that are needed to become more independent and self-reliant. This is accomplished through employment in a structured setting with close supervision.

​

Several PreVocational skills are emphasized. These include social interaction skills, appropriate dress and grooming for the workplace, attendance and punctuality, responsibility, work production and quality, and safety. Progress is monitored through measurable goals and objectives. When these are reached, workers are ready to become involved in alternative programs.
