Employees for your business
As an employer, you need workers who can get the job done. The adults with disabilities we serve, whether in an individual role in your company or in a group setting, have the skills to meet your company’s needs.

How it works
-
Most of the individuals we serve begin their work with Employment Specialists (also known as Job Coaches) in either a group supported work environment with up to 8 individuals, or one-on-one with a Job Coach. These individuals work on site at your location, and may be paid through NW Works initially with most moving to employment with your company. NW Works provides the Employment Specialist at no charge to you through support through Workforce development funding and is available to provide support until the employee is capable of working independently to your satisfaction.

Hiring people with disabilities brings a number of benefits, from added diversity in your workplace to government incentives. According to a study by The Institute for Corporate Productivity, individuals with developmental disabilities contributed to higher productivity rates, increased customer loyalty, and lower absenteeism.
