Association Of Community Employment Programs For The Homeless Inc

Project comeback is our initial 4-6 month vocational rehabilitation program that provides recovering homeless individuals with the skills, support services and motivation they need to obtain and sustain full-time employment and economic independence. Participants receive job-readiness training, supported work experience (providing maintenance services to new york city streets and parks), adult basic education, supplemental skills training (occupational safety & health administration [osha]; food protection) and vocational support services, including life skills development and job search assistance. Program activities take place seven days each week year-round, with each participant attending five days weekly, and graduating from the program once they find full-time employment.
