The UPMC Vocational Training Center is a community-based vocational training facility serving adults with intellectual disabilities. The program is available to people who would benefit from a structured, therapeutic setting. In many cases, individuals who participate may have a secondary mental health diagnosis.
The Vocational Training Center provides quality instruction and meaningful work. Real jobs are completed under the supervision of trained staff. Job readiness skills and behaviors are assessed, and workers receive a paycheck for work performed. By providing real work for pay, workers also gain a sense of self-esteem from their productive activity.
The UPMC Vocational Training Center is located at:
1015 Bingham St.
Pittsburgh, PA. 15203
Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., year round, Monday through Friday. Please call us at 412‑235‑5465

The program also includes job assessment and training for transitional-age, high school students preparing to leave the school system.
