October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, so we’re extra excited to share that 32 participants across Pennsylvania and Delaware began new jobs in September.  

Fudia was hired at NEST, Philly’s all-in-one playspace and childhood education center; Isaac, a former Project SEARCH participant, began a position at Local Grown Salads; and Brittany went to work as a teacher’s assistant at a local Montessori school! All across the region, our participants are going to work in a diverse range of fields and roles.  

Congrats to all those beginning new jobs, and big cheers for our great Business Development team who helped place each of our participants, and to our employment specialists for all their excellent on-site support.
