Providing Long-Term Solutions
The Orange County Rescue Mission is committed to providing long-term solutions to homeless and impoverished families who desire to change their lives. One vital component in assisting these families is the Technology Education Vehicle, a state-of-the-art, self-powered, mobile career center. This mobile solution will deliver to motel residents the tools they need to move toward self-sufficiency.

It’s menu of services will include real world job skills that will give motel residents a fast track to gaining proficiency in technology, moving them on a career path rather than a string of dead end jobs.
 The Technology Education Vehicle, built in 2000, is the nation’s first mobile Microsoft Office Specialist (M.O.S.) certified training site, including certification in operating systems, word processing, database processing and spreadsheets. This mobile training facility delivers marketplace skills to move men and women onto a career path. Services on the vehicle include: vocational assessment, computer training and certification, interview training, résumé creation, and specialized referrals for career based vocational training.
Through state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge software, we are able to give impoverished motel residents a “leg up” in the job market. In addition, wireless Internet and fax capabilities provide on-line listings and allow residents to fax résumés and applications directly to potential employers.
