Job Training and Employment Opportunities for Adults with Disabilities offered at Peninsula Services
Provides an individualized vocational program for disabled adults that may include work training, vocational counseling, interview preparation, resume assistance, job coaching, budgeting, and employment opportunities.
Peninsula Services is a non-profit United Way funded agency that works to train and find employment for persons with disabilities. Most participants are referred to our services by other organizations such as DVR, DDD or DSHS and most recently DSB, and there are no fees charged to the individual.
Offers an array of comprehensive rehabilitative and supportive programs that are based on the belief that persons with disabilities grow and develop as do all persons; that persons with disabilities can work and want to work; and they should be provided with support that accentuates the individual's talents, choice, respect and dignity in pursuing life options.
Training opportunities include All Shred document destruction with mobile shredding truck that can pick up throughout the county, Grounds Maintenance at sites throughout Naval Base Kitsap, and the agency-run Servmart Supply Stores in Bremerton and Oak Harbor, and training at other community sites as well.
