The Shops at Devereux, located in Devon, Pennsylvania, is a licensed vocational training center comprised of several specialized workshops that function as small businesses. Founded in 1962, the program provides individuals with emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences the opportunity to learn valuable and marketable skills in a realistic work environment.
At The Shops, adults gain a deeper understanding of socially appropriate workplace behaviors, while striving to achieve employment within the community. Workers receive paychecks for the tasks they perform, and learn how to budget and save the money they earn. Adults also have the opportunity to receive additional training through unpaid, community volunteer opportunities.
The Shops provide structured programs that assist individuals in overcoming barriers that may prevent them from obtaining successful, competitive employment within the community. The program offers job skills training, education and assessment and other career development opportunities, while also acting as a liaison to help businesses comply with the American with Disabilities Act, Pennsylvania Employment First Initiative, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and Office of Developmental Program regulations.
The Shops offers guided tours Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. To schedule a visit, call (610) 964-3207 or email Kirk Smith.
