NOWCAP Services also provides evaluation and skill development through sheltered workshops. Individuals have the opportunity to learn new job skills and compensation on the following crews:

  • Wood shop - The wood shop builds and refinishes furniture. After on the job training and safety compliance, participants have the opportunity to work in a paid position at a specialized job.
