The Replication Project
Women who are currently enrolled in any of Lund’s programs have the ability to participate in the Replication Project. This project recognizes women who show motivation, responsibility, and are in need of specific job training/job experience.
LFC provides an “apprenticeship” position to already existing positions at LFC allowing women to engage in on-the-job training. Replication participants receive a small stipend and on occasion, also receive larger financial incentives for completing work goals and receiving favorable evaluations.
Participants can utilize on site support and services if experiencing problems at home or on the job that could interfere with their continued employment. These services assist women in learning important skills to maintain employment.
Participants are also encouraged to attend weekly life skill classes that specifically address job readiness and career planning as a part of their experience in the Replication Project. Upon successful completion, participants have a strong employee recommendation as well as job experience to put into a resume.
The Replication project has received financial support from the Economic Services Department to become a job training site for Chittenden County parents who are receiving Reach Up. This funding allowed the project to expand and accommodate up to 15 different training slots.
