In October 2016, The Options Work Activity Program will celebrate 30 years of service to the community, and graduate our 150th class.

Options Work Activity Program is a 30-week skills-based training program for people 16 years of age and older who face barriers to employment. Our program offers a combination of individual employment counseling, personal development, academic upgrading, team building, employ-ability skills development, basic skill development and a ten week on-the-job work placement.

During the first two weeks of the program, all participants are given the opportunity to meet our instructors and explore each of our program areas:

• Basic or Advanced Office Work Option Program
• Building Maintenance Work Option Program Program
• Customer Service Work Option Program Program
• Food Service Work Option Program
• Stone Hearth Bakery Work Option Program

At the end of their two week exploration, program participants select an area of focus

We also offer a 10-week Advanced Office Skills Program for those who have been out of the workforce and wish to upgrade their technical skills.
