Success Stories
Salem Outreach Shelter has developed a partnership with the Workforce Integration Center at Chemeketa Community College, and a number of their residents have visited the center on a continuous basis working on computer skills and work search and career exploration. As a result, a number of the residents are increasing their computer skills and are expanding their employment options. Two of the residents have begun the college application process as a result of their work at Chemeketa.
