Workforce Development

Our workforce development program is designed to equip individuals with the skills needed for careers in agriculture, culinary arts, hospitality, and education.

Through our partnership with the Center for Enriched Living (CEL), we provide paid, meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in our cafe and on the farm.

We offer internships and career readiness training for local high school students from Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep in nearby Waukegan.
