Re-Entry Now Hiring Resources
RE-ENTRY JOB SEARCH RULES AND GUIDELINES
It is a requirement to secure a job while being housed and fed at the VOA Residential Re-Entry Center, and that twenty-five percent of each week's salary be paid directly to the VOA Center as subsistence payment. Here is a partial list of job opportunities near to the VOA Center.
Some of these companies send representatives to the VOA Center to give a brief talk and recruit Center residents to sign up with their companies. In other instances, a Center resident needs to make a call to set up an interview.
Goodwill Industries offers training in a variety of fields as will be further described below. The VOA Center allows Center residents to travel each day to the Goodwill facility to receive training for jobs and their participation in this training is credited as meeting the criteria of job seeking to be compliant with VOA Center regulations.
