Committed to supporting our participants throughout the lifecycle and providing them same, inclusive experiences afforded to their peers, we have continued to diversify our programs by launching our Thrift Shop initiative. The Thrift Shop will offer adult participants vocational and job skills training and the opportunity to engage in meaningful and appropriately supported employment.
Through our vocational training track, trainees will learn important life and job skills and explore their personal interests and talents. Once they have completed training, graduates have the option to apply for a position at Gateways Thrift Shop, or take their certificate out into the community*!
