Our Way Work Training Program is a customized approach to giving clients the resources and training needed to succeed in employment. Our Way trainees come into our mock work floor at a set schedule every week to perform tasks in a work environment and collaborate with other trainees, clients, and professionals on a weekly basis. Additionally, throughout the week, trainees will attend trainings and presentations to teach them about employment skills and accommodations in the work place.
