Providence House continues to help our residents build valuable workforce skills. This week, we learn skills for professionalism and dependability. Residents are learning how to bring these traits into practice, and our staff will share how they’ve applied these lessons in their own lives, too. It’s all about building a supportive, encouraging environment where residents gain important skills to thrive in the workforce!
