Activity 3

Work programs: in addition to providing retraining through the revamp shop, hr also provides on-the-job training opportunities to dozens of community members each year through a variety of partnerships. Education and job skills are some of the most critical factors for finding a good job in the missoula area, and lack of an education and/or job skills constitutes a significant barrier to residents finding and maintaining living wages and family supporting employment. These education and job skill factors are highly related to social issues such as high rates of incarceration and homelessness. Home resource serves as a premier internship training site with multiple capabilities in the retail, manufacturing, and construction and demolition sectors. These capacities, combined with a dedicated and thoughtful staff, provide a holistic training environment for individuals with barriers to employment. The internship these individuals will participate in at home resource will provide much needed jobs skills which will lead toward sustainable employment in the future.home resources work program partnerships include:missoula job service on-the-job training program: beginning in november of 2011, home resource partnered with the missoula job service in a program that offers job and skills training to people struggling to find work in missoula.
