which is located at 127 Mill Street in Newton.
Work sites will be located throughout the county and hours will be

The comprehensive Summer Office Skills program prepares participants to
seek entry-level office administrative positions. In addition to 40 hours of computer skills
training, participants will receive 20 hours of classroom instruction and 40
hours of work experience at a community employment site, which will further
prepare participants for success in the job market. The time in the classroom is devoted to
careering instruction, life skills training and interviewing strategies. Over the years, Project
Self Sufficiency has partnered with a variety of local
businesses, non-profit organizations and government entities to provide
participants with externship opportunities.
Participants gain real-life work experience while honing the computer
skills they have received as part of the agency’s training programs.
The Summer Office Skills program is free and open to Project
Self-Sufficiency participants. All
interested parties must apply and be accepted into the program. To become
