LAUNCH Employment Program

The mission of our Launch Vocational Day Program is to empower and encourage self-determination for individuals with disabilities by accessing work and social opportunities in a truly community-based setting. Launch has two sites – one centrally located in beautiful Cohasset Village and another in downtown Hingham. These ideal locations allow our participants walking access to the numerous work opportunities, internships, and social events the sites have to offer. Launch participants experience an authentic community-based program full of working, learning, growing and achieving.

We are Ready, Willing and Able to Work

If you are a business owner your daily challenge is to find hardworking, reliable, and conscientious employees. We have the answer for you. Our Launch Vocational program is dedicated to launching our individuals into gainful employment. Before we even introduce our individuals to a job site we spend time teaching them about the responsibilities that go along with holding a job; being on time, dressing appropriately, understanding what the tasks are, and even practicing skills prior to walking in the door on the first day. Once the foundation is set, we join them at the job site and coach them as they become accustomed to their roles and responsibilities. Then it is work- work – work – until they master the job. Once an employer is confident an individual is ready to “launch” independently into their job they can be gainfully employed!
