Youth
Arbor serves WIA-eligible youth ages 14-21, both in school and out of school, who are living at or below the poverty level and have poor basic skills. Out-of-school youth typically have limited work histories and require guidance in choosing an occupation and securing a career. In-school youth often are at risk of dropping out and benefit from academic enrichment and work-based learning.

Arbor also serves youth in and aging out of foster care, who require assistance in making the transition to productive adulthood.

Welfare Recipients
Arbor has been providing services to welfare recipients since 1968. We've operated programs for TANF recipients at all stages of their time-limited receipt of cash assistance: pre-24 months, post-24 months, and post-60 months lifetime limit. We also serve general assistance recipients and welfare diversion clients. Our goal is to empower these individuals to become self-sufficient contributors to society.

Adults
Arbor has provided employment and training services for eligible adults who are economically disadvantaged and have multiple barriers to employment. Since the inception of WIA, we have also successfully served the general population in our universal access programs.

Dislocated Workers
Arbor assists workers who have lost their jobs through facility closings and other types of mass lay-offs. Some of these individuals can't find work in their previous occupation and require retraining. Others may need placement assistance because there are limited opportunities in their previous field.

Employers
Arbor serves employers with wide-ranging needs. Many seek trained and qualified workers or may need current employees retrained. Others require specialized recruiting, assessment, and testing. We consider ourselves a partner in the economic development of the communities where we serve, and keep close ties with local business groups and economic development organizations.
