employU

Partnerships with employU do more than just place individuals in jobs, they empower people with disabilities to step into the workforce, gain independence, and grow in confidence. Too often, we place limitations on individuals with disabilities, but the truth is their potential is already within them. By working together, we’re not just filling positions, we’re building a more inclusive, thriving community. Are you ready to be part of this movement? We are looking for new business partners across Florida to join our summer youth program as either a tour, host, or internship site this year so if you want to learn more about becoming one of our partners here: https://hubs.li/Q03772np0 #InclusiveEmployment #DisabilityInclusion #Empowerment

Max recently completed two on-the-job trainings! He worked at the Holiday Inn Express working as a laundry attendant, gaining experience and managing his time. He was responsible for tasks like folding towels and linens, mopping, and sweeping. At the Sheriff's Youth Ranch, he cleaned and organized items on the shelves. Through his persistence, positivity, motivation, and determination he overcame the communication challenges he faced. With the support of his Employment Specialist and Job Coach, Jessie and Chris West, Max has not only developed valuable work skills but also built confidence in himself and his abilities. They say of Max, “Max is an amazing individual. He walks into a room and lights it up with his big smile. His smile and huge personality attract people and he makes people happy by just being near him.” #HolidayInExpress #EmployingAbilities #DisabilityEmployment
