Production Memories

For many years, people at Riverside Training Centers (now lifempowered) worked in sheltered workshops and with local contractors in a variety of productive positions. Much of the work was some version of packaging, but many also did janitorial services and micro-enterprises, manufacturing hand made items that were sold at events and local stores. In 2015, the governor of Oregon mandated all workshops be closed. Today, people find a variety of jobs in their community, working side by side with everyone ...possibly you! lifempowered always strives to prepare people to be successful employees, doing work they desire to do.
