New Ventures

Founded in 1971, New Ventures, Inc. has been serving Troup County for almost 50 years! Initially serving as a sheltered workshop for the West Georgia area, we provided work programs and leisure activities for adults with developmental disabilities. In response to community needs, our programs expanded to include work evaluation, work adjustment, sheltered employment, and job placement. Our job training program has now expanded to serve individuals with other barriers to employment. Other barriers to employment may include, but are not limited to, homelessness, lack of education, lack of work experience, lack of transportation, criminal history, etc. Visit the website, click on “Jobs and Training”, then click on the “Learn More” link in the “Learn About our Program” section to find out how to apply for the program. There is no fee charged for the program, except for a $10.00 fee for a drug test, once you have been accepted.
