Many people who come to Water Street Mission misunderstand the importance of life-long learning. The Learning and Career Center (LCC) helps clients catch a vision for achieving more in life through learning. Pairing educational quality and life laboratory, the LCC is a place where broken people find hope and healing. Essentially it allows clients to choose a direction, get there and experience life there.
The Learning Center
The Learning Center includes three phases:
- Academics (GED)
- Computer Literacy
- Money Management
This is a crucial piece for men enrolled in the addiction and recovery program of the Men’s Discipleship Center, and it’s an optional component for all other clients of Water Street Mission.
The Career Center
The Career Center provides resume training, job interview skills, and job placement. As men graduate from the addiction recovery program and move into the transition phase, they enter the Career Center. We partner with CareerLink, a community organization, to provide our clients the best possible career opportunities.
The LCC is proud of the diversity of our students, as we serve men and women with education ranges from grade school to those with Master’s Degrees. Approximately 40 students are enrolled in the LCC.
