The Warwick and Providence Skills Center are part of a U.S. Dept. of Labor initiative to expand the region's service sector workforce. We recruit high school drop outs, get them their GED and then get them a job with our member employers in the retail sector
Description:
The centers will serve as sites for piloting new curricula for retail careers developed by the Retail Learning Leadership Project, CVS, the National Retail Federation with support from the Dept. of Labor, Rhode Island Dept. of Educations and both Rhode Island Workforce Investment Boards. An aggressive GED program is also offered.
History:
CCAP, and other community action agencies, was created through President Johnson's 1964 War on Poverty and the Office of Economic Opportunity. Our programs are strictly for low income participants. Our annual budget is quickly approaching 12 million dollars a year. We currently manage programs all over the state of Rhode Island.
