The Arc of Somerset County provides center-based adult programs at four facilities in Somerset County to over 200 individuals. Activities are designed to fit the cognitive and physical skill levels as well as the interests of the individuals enrolled in the various programs.
The focus of the programs is to foster positive work attitudes and behaviors while increasing social skill development for individuals who have little or no exposure to a work environment.
In addition to assessment, counseling and training, fulfillment and production tasks are offered as a means of developing work skills and earning money. The Arc of Somerset provides business solutions to customers from a variety of industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, professional services and county organizations. Individuals receive payment for their work in accordance with Department of Labor, Wage and Hour standards.
Participation in community activities and job sampling are encouraged as possible. For some, community-based employment may become a goal.
Hours of operation are generally 8:30A to 3:30P Monday through Friday with a 30 minute lunch time daily. Transportation is provided by Somerset County Division of Transportation. The Arc of Somerset works closely with the N.J. Division of Developmental Disabilities and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.
