Supported Employment

Valley Educational Associates believes that all people deserve a meaningful job. We take the time to train and teach important workplace skills to meet your business needs.

The types of work we offer include: housekeeping, janitorial, dishwashing, groundskeeping, assembly/packaging, stocking/shelving, warehouse work, property care, retail, and administrative assistance.

Companies which employ two or more individuals with disabilities benefit in a number of ways:

  • Access to an entry-level workforce that is motivated, reliable and ready to work
  • Support of an on-site Valley Educational Associates’ job coach throughout the period of employment, to assist our employees in exceeding your expectations.
  • Improved bottom line (time and money saved on training, turnover, absenteeism; increased productivity on the part of non-disabled employees)
  • Increased approval ratings from employees and customers for providing this opportunity to individuals who want to work.
  • Typically, longer tenure with our staff
  • Business tax incentives by the federal government.

If you want to explore how a person with a developmental disability can fit into your business, give us a call today. We can give you a realistic idea about the jobs that someone can do for you.
