Workers compensation is covered by the state of Florida for all participants.

The Internship program provides our partners an opportunity to observe our participants’ reliability, productivity, and ability to learn.

Substantial tax breaks are given through the Worker Opportunity Tax Credit and the Welfare To Work Tax Credit.
