Vocational & Employment Training

Vocational and employment training are offered as a part of all our women’s programming.  VWW works with participants to develop work habit and communication skills, upgrading math skills; time and stress management; interviewing and resume writing; and preventing sexual harassment. Participants identify concerns and barriers to their personal and professional goals, as well as the strengths and transferrable skills they hold.

Vermont Works for Women has innovative programming to serve incarcerated women through year round training in carpentry, electrical wiring, plumbing, weatherization, roofing offered at the women’s correctional facility by construction projects.  Our main project through this work crew is construction of Energy Star modular homes that are sold as affordable housing.
