Being hired for a job in the community is a very attainable and desired goal for many of the individuals that we serve and we have more than 35 business placements to prove it. Plus, the work records achieved by these employees have helped us continue to build excellent partnerships with more companies and organizations.

Our staff members work with both the employer and the prospective employee to match the skills of an individual with a job description. However, the individuals we serve work through the process like any other individual - a resume is developed and the individual prepares for the job interview. When hired, East Shore continues to work with both parties, enhancing communication, sometimes redesigning jobs and providing on-going training and support.

"Brian has very much become part of our team and over the past months opened himself up and has been able to laugh with us. We have found that with the smallest bit of encouragement, he has been able to grow and take on additional responsibilities and we now very much count on him to keep everything neat and ship shape in our office. Not only Brian but the staff as well at East Shore is very reliable and we have seen Brian become more self confident through this process."
