Root and Fruit Skill Program

At Bloom Skills Centre, growth begins with strong roots. Our Root & Fruit Skills Program is designed to help young adults with intellectual and developmental exceptionalities build the essential life, social, and employment skills they need to thrive.

Through engaging, hands-on classes, participants explore real-world experiences — from cooking and budgeting to communication, wellness, and community connection. Each class focuses on nurturing confidence, independence, and personal growth while supporting every learner’s unique journey toward meaningful participation in work and life.

The “Root” courses lay the foundation for essential daily living and personal development skills, while the “Fruit” courses build on these roots — helping participants apply their learning through practical experiences, community engagement, and employment readiness opportunities.

Together, our programs help individuals grow from strong beginnings to fulfilling, independent futures — because when people bloom, communities do too.

Fruit Classes

Our Fruit classes help participants put their skills into action. Building on the foundations developed in Root courses, these advanced classes focus on applying learning in real-world settings — through community experiences, teamwork, and employment readiness opportunities. Here, participants “bear fruit” as they gain confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment from seeing their hard work take shape.
