We believe that everyone who wants to work should be given the support to do so, despite level of ability. We’ve spent decades forging partnerships with organizations and businesses throughout the region who believe this too. Through these partnerships, we’ve created programs to help local employers address workforce issues, while also offering paid work opportunities – and so much more – to people with disabilities.
From a practical business perspective, working with Sunshine Village makes a lot of sense. But our business partners tell us it’s about a lot more than that. They talk about the intangible benefits they get – the loyal, hardworking employees who become valuable members of a team, whose tenacity and resilience inspires other employees.
Companies also tell us that their stakeholders – from customers and vendors to board members – place a premium on corporate responsibility. Providing employment to people with disabilities receives high marks, both in terms of corporate responsibility and goodwill.
