Job Skills Training
NextStep Recycling is dedicated to helping individuals learn new skills,
find employment and progress in their lives and careers.
For more than four years, NextStep Recycling has been offering job and
social skills training to disenfranchised individuals in our community.
Participants volunteer in our dismantling room, our receiving room, our
resale store, or with our technicians. After 30 hours, we continue the
education process by giving each participant an Internet-ready computer with
word processing and other useful programs installed.
NextStep Recycling presently works with:
- Lane Workforce Partnership
- Oregon Department of Human Services
- Laurel Hill Center
- Springfield Special Education Life Skills Program
- Lane County Community Services
- Specialized Employment Services
- and other employment assessment programs in Lane County
NextStep Recycling recognizes and supports the abilities of each participant, rather than focusing on their prior life experiences or their disabilities.
