individualized nature of employment support. This program may
include Benefits Counseling, as necessary.

This program also serves female inmates from the Beaver County Jail as a work release site.

This program seeks to engage participants in vocational education and exploration in the community in an effort to help them embrace their potential for competitive employment. Activities include paid transitional work experiences, career observations, job shadowing opportunities, educational tours, and benefits counseling activities.
