Teaching life skills and providing vocational training to recently released ex-offenders
Several years ago, a group of Christian businessmen came together to discuss options to help ex-offenders and others just out of prison or jail to find work and lead a productive life. Opportunity Enterprises, LLC was born as a way to respond to this need in our community. In late May of 2014, we rented a building on the Alexandria airport grounds, opened the shop doors and “pushed the start button”.
We now have several paid employees and a board of directors made up of area Christian business leaders, including Tory Bjorklund and David Schonberg with TRC Ministries. So far, Opportunity Enterprises has been self-supporting.
We offer life skills and on-site vocational training.
Classes include work place ethics, communications, anger management, overcoming addiction, financial planning, interviewing, and resume writing.
Shop training includes welding and machining. We seek to subcontract welding and machining jobs to use as teaching opportunities and to produce income. Any profits will be used to fund other ministries within The Regeneration Center.
