Employment and Education
Self-sufficiency isn't possible without financial stability, so TRC offers transformational strategies in career development, education, and training to prepare participants to respond and adapt to the changing economic climate.
Programs are designed to pay particular attention to placement issues confronted by individuals when they seek to enter or re-enter the workforce, with the understanding that each individual has a different meaning of work in their life, education, and work history.

These programs are open to the community, but priority is given to TRC residents.
