WRC plays a vital role in the economic life within the communities served by
paying individuals for work performed in an "earn while you learn" training
approach. WRC trains individuals to become employable and assists them in
finding jobs within their communities.
WRC also assists individuals who have difficulty maintaining employment, those
who are on forms of public assistance such as welfare and those who are
employable and underemployed. This workforce comprise the next level of workers
as current workers move into higher skilled jobs.
Over 200 individuals work daily in the job readiness, job development and
community work programs. As a result of their earnings, over five million
dollars are spent annually in the communities in which they live.
With the support of Wiregrass United Way, WRC provides a transportation system
to make it possible for those within a fifty mile radius of the Centers in
