Employment Services

The TOC (Training and Outsourcing Center) provides vocational evaluation and job training to people with developmental disabilities and physical challenges. Through a comprehensive and individualized assessment of work skills, interests and work-related behaviors, targeted job training leads to paid work opportunities in the sheltered workshop environment as regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor. The workshop is tailored to provide support to people who are not yet ready for competitive employment but are working to improve their skills and maximize their level of work performance through paid contract work, with the anticipated outcome of integrated employment in the community. Contract work, which is obtained from area businesses and industries, includes a variety of packaging, mailing, assembly and rework services as well as binding and laminating. This diversity of work provides exposure to a wide variety of jobs and work situations within an environment that promotes vocational success. The TOC enjoys a reciprocal relationship with many area businesses, as outsourcing enables companies to be more productive by shipping a portion of their work to the workshop, which provides the participants in the workshop with job exposure, the opportunity to be compensated for working and a sense of accomplishment. The TOC operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM, 252 days a year.
