Small Group
Building Employment Skills
At Opportunity Foundation, this program partners with local employers to create supportive, hands-on work experiences for small groups of participants. Individuals spend a few hours each week at a business, where they practice job tasks, learn workplace expectations, and build relationships in a real-world setting. With guidance and encouragement, participants develop confidence, strengthen their skills, and gain a better understanding of what employment looks like. These experiences are designed to help bridge the gap between learning and independent employment, ultimately preparing individuals to successfully pursue and maintain jobs within the community.
