Work Attachment

Work attachment includes work activities, work readiness activities, and job placement and development. Programs nationwide have overcome the challenge of limited funding and budget cuts by diversifying funding streams and have addressed high staff turnover by providing consistent training. Programs also have responded to the changing needs of special populations, particularly immigrants, refugees, individuals with limited English proficiency, and individuals with disabilities.
