Anchor House Mens Facility

One of the primary missions of Anchor House is to enable our residents to lead meaningful, productive lives after they leave our facility. We accomplish this by providing a vigorous program of vocational counseling where our residents:

• are initially interviewed to formulate a plan of action towards vocational goals;
• take a basic education test to determine current academic skills;
• are taught basic reading comprehension and math, instruction in those subjects for the more advance is also provided. When appropriate, some residents are also offered assistance in attaining their GED;
• learn basic computer skills, job search, develop a resume and practice effective interviewing techniques;
• receive Diagnostic Vocational Evaluation (DVE) that helps them identify their strengths and clarify their vocational aspirations;
• receive vocational training suitable to his/her needs;
• is assisted in job search.
