Developing Self-Esteem and Work Readiness Skills
The MRLC is committed to developing the self-esteem and work
readiness skills of students age 18 – 60. Training is provided in Café
Food Services including New Jersey Food Handling Certification.
Computer Literacy provides rudimentary computer skills and training with
the software used in job-entry level office work. Through Low
Literacy, students learn the reading, writing and speaking skills
needed for daily life, and develop the capacity to enroll in the GED
class to earn their high school equivalency diploma.
