There are a total of 200 students, including 50 non-resident trainees, all from the local community, who come to the Center each day for training. Residential trainees are recruited primarily from surrounding communities and the northern and southern portion of Connecticut. The program meets the needs of each individual in four (4) specific areas that enable the trainee to become successfully employed. Although many other needs are also being met, the program focuses on building vocational skills, developing academic skills and increasing awareness of social skills and core values. Besides educational and vocational opportunities, trainees receive free housing, meals, medical and dental care, as well as living and clothing allowances. There are daily recreational activities and outings scheduled weekly for all trainees who wish to participate. Counseling services are available to assist trainees with their individual needs. When training is completed and/or trainees are ready to leave, Career Transition services are provided. In addition, trainees who leave and are pursuing independent living are provided assistance with their transition.
