Work In Progress' mission is to assist persons with a diagnosis of mental illness with obtaining, retaining and maintaining employment opportunities throughout Richland and Lexington counties in South Carolina.
A trained Work In Progress Employment Specialist is assigned to every work candidate. The Employment Specialist provides assistance in every area of the job search, from the pre-interview training to initial transportation to the interview itself. Unique to Work In Progress, they will provide support to the work candidate after an appropriate match has been made. Most importantly, an Employment Specialist will provide the work candidate with the emotional base and encouragement needed during employment. This support will last as long as necessary - days, weeks, months or even years.
This process is very important as this is the employment lifeline for many of us.

She has received The Outstanding Employee Award from her employer, and at times feels depressed but now she knows she has the support from her friends at Work in Progress to help her get through.
