The First Occupational Center of New Jersey is the state’s oldest and largest vocational training and job placement agency, providing services to developmentally disabled, elderly and economically disadvantaged New Jersey residents and their families since 1954. OCNJ uses an entrepreneurial approach to training and securing jobs with the goal of helping workers move from dependence to independence.

The Center provides jobs through its seven wholly-owned and operated companies, including Recycling, Building Services and Groundskeeping, Production Services, Micrographics, Abbry Security, and the OCNJ Driving School, as well as within the community.

Message to: Parents/Guardians, Clients, Funding/Referral Sources and Staff of The First Occupational Center of NJ.

NOTE :  Please be advised that we have suspended our training programs for at least 3 weeks, starting 7/2/2010. 

OCNJ has decided to use this time as a vacation for our clients and a time for the staff to re-group and develop plans for continuing operations.

 There will be no interruption to the agency's business operations  - FORWI (recycling), FCDC (Building Services) ,Abbry Security and Lakeside School.
