Our Enrichment Center provides a safe, empowering environment for participants to develop essential life and vocational skills beyond traditional employment settings. Participants take part in independent liviing and social skill development. Through a variety of unpaid, skill-building tasks, individuals engage in activities that promote independence, structure, and a strong sense of purpose.

Participants take part in independent living skill development, including cooking, budgeting, and daily planning. They also receive support in community integration experiences, where outings and group activities help build social confidence and a greater connection to the world around them. Whether it’s practicing communication in a group setting or navigating public spaces, each activity is designed to foster personal growth, social awareness, and emotional well-being.

Enrichment Center

On our work floor and in our full-service cafeteria, trainees participate in paid vocational training, gaining real work experience in areas such as packaging, assembly, inspection, and food services. These opportunities help individuals earn wages while building the skills and habits needed to transition into competitive employment.

Vocational Training

Extended Employment

For individuals without other funding sources, DECI offers paid training opportunities designed to build skills, strengthen work habits, and create a pathway toward competitive employment in the community.

Through testing and observation in both DECI’s work setting and the community, we assess each participant’s current skills, vocational needs, and employment goals. Evaluation length is tailored to individual needs, ensuring each person receives the right level of guidance and support.
