EMPLOYMENT TRAINING
Picture
Stable employment is one of the most significant factors for the successful reintegration of previously incarcerated individuals.  Without the necessary education, training, work experience and support the barriers to employment for many of our residents would be very challenging. To assist in overcoming these barriers, ‘Aghelh Nebun CRF is proud to offer a 120 day Employment Training program. The purpose of this program is to help our residents prepare for stable community employment. In addition to the non-ticketed courses, residents are able to gain up to 22 certified tickets at no cost to them during their time at 'Aghelh Nebun CRF. Intake for this program is continuous - meaning, residents can participate in all the courses (ticketed and non-ticketed alike) regardless of the specific date of their arrival.

​Actual employment skills are developed by providing at minimum, one day a week of paid work during the program for all residents. Residents may earn up to $78 for that day.  Occasionally, there are opportunities for additional work days but these are seasonal and are not guaranteed. There are three employment positions at the camp that offer an extra day of work in addition to the regular work day.  These jobs are on a first come first serve basis as well as on a merit basis. Residents can sign up on a waitlist for these positions. These positions are not separate from the regular courses and  programs but are additional opportunities. These positions include resident cooks (two positions) & a camp janitor. The concept of having paid work available is to put the skills learned in training into place in a real environment. Actual work and work ethic is viewed as a life skill and is encouraged and developed while at 'Aghelh Nebun. Residents are expected to come to camp with adequate clothing for the season and adequate work gear if available, including steel toed work boots and work gloves.
