BAROCO'S TORRINGTON SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

      Since taking over the program in 1992 Baroco has worked hard to successfully place people in jobs within their community.  People are currently working at local Colleges, Parks, apartment complexes, as well as more traditional factory facilities. Our consumers do a variety of rewarding, and well paying, jobs such as janitorial maintenance, various types of manufacturing, painting, and landscape maintenance.
    The variety of jobs provided by these sites allows us to place people in jobs which take into account their interests, as well as their abilities, to help ensure their success.  Many people, who in the past have been unable to retain jobs, have now been working happily at their jobs for a number of years.  Aside from earning money people have found a new sense of confidence and self worth.
