Background


 

The Arc of Santa Maria Valley was started in 1961 by a small, forward-thinking group of parents. In 1970 the Arc bought five acres at 2445 'A' Street in Santa Maria and developed the Vocational Training Center, a day training program for adults with developmental disabilities. Services continually developed and improved over the years. 

On July 1, 2002 the name changed to VTC ENTERPRISES.  The change came about because VTC's services are diverse and are offered on site as well as throughout several nearby communities. 

Serves over 370 individuals
(most of whom are served at integrated sites in our community). 

Offers four types of supported employment programs, two types of trade training, work experience, external situational assessment, community based integrated work programs, and facility based day programs.

Serves individuals from Lompoc, Santa Ynez, Santa Maria, Guadalupe, Nipomo, and the Five Cities area.
