The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program
The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program (V.E.S.T.) serves developmentally delayed adolescents and young adults in the Essex County area. Housed in the Bloomfield Middle School, V.E.S.T. works with youngsters aged 15-21 with the goal of providing the means to make the students independent and employable.
