Personalized Support working in the Broader Community

Support working in the Peckham Community

When you work at Peckham, every employee receives one-on-one support from a Vocational Services Specialist (VSS). Your VSS helps with job-related challenges, provides counseling and coaching and offers training. VSS assist with technology, address barriers and connect you to helpful resources within Peckham and the larger community. Additionally, they support your personal goals, such as financial management and health, and handle HR matters like family leave and workplace accommodations. With a VSS, you’ll have the support you need to succeed both on the job and in your personal life.

Reducing barriers through community partnership

We support individuals achieving their goals by leveraging community resources and reducing employment barriers.

Through community collaboration we partner with local businesses, schools, nonprofits and government agencies to build a network of opportunities and resources for you. We also collaborate with your job support team to tackle common obstacles to employment, such as transportation, childcare and access to training.
