PEOST provides, resources, training, and technical assistance opportunities to victim service providers, with a special emphasis on current OVC human trafficking grantees, as well as workforce development programs in order to:

  • foster and/or strengthen partnerships between and among victim service providers, local workforce development programs, and educational institutions;
  • build the capacity of victim service providers and workforce development programs to enhance services to promote greater access to quality employment opportunities for survivors of trafficking; and,
  • develop economic empowerment programming that support resilience and prepare survivors of trafficking for success when pursuing their education, training, and employment goals.
