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!
Why you should hire individuals with disabilities:
- Studies have shown that employees with developmental disabilities contributed to higher productivity and lower absenteeism.
- Studies have also shown increased customer loyalty.
- Hiring people with disabilities conveys and promotes an inclusive work environment. This encourages empathy in the workplace (a trait that is important to have when working with customers and clients) and can improve the perception of the company from the consumer point of view.
If you would like to explore hiring opportunities via our Launch vocational program please e-mail; Brian Stewart at bstewart@soshoresupport.org for Cohasset and Victoria Winn at vwinn@soshoresupport.org for Hingham.
