One of the main requests we receive from our Shelter Program participants is to help them learn a new career or to better themselves in their current chosen one.

So we created the Vocational Rehabilitation Classroom Training Program. The educational curriculum for these classes typically consists of not only lecture, but also lots of hands on lab experience for many of the classes.

Many of the classes are actually a prelude requirement to securing employment with the instructors who operate their own successful business entities.
