Cottage Industries

Our program is completed in partnership with Arbor House, Inc, a non-profit organization that provides women a safe living and working environment. Through Arbor House women are given the opportunity to attend classes that provide guidance in areas such as parenting, anger management, and substance abuse.

Cottage Industries strives to empower these women by helping them develop essential workplace skills. Cottage Industries employs the women living at Arbor House to produce our quality products. Through different classes, the women are counseled in ways to achieve success in a business environment.

Through Cottage Industries the women are taught how to separate their emotion at work, develop a professional self, build a good work ethic, dress professionally, and become a valuable employee.

Through a Professional Leadership Development class they are able to sharpen necessary skills in business such as public speaking, time management, computer, and phone skills.

Additionally we encourage the women to exercise their creativity when producing our quality products.
