I match the right job seekers with the right employers. I am a professional job developer seeking work for adults with intellectual disabilities in the Antelope Valley CA. Hiring from this demographic has a multitude of advantages. Let's meet to discuss how Supported Employment can benefit your business!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------About me, I have been with Desert Haven since January 1994. I come from a background in restaurants and retail. I studied marketing and merchandising in college and went on to be an assistant manager at a couple of dress shops - and honed my management skills at McDonald's. This experience ended up being exactly what I needed to train adults with developmental disabilities in restaurant and retail jobs. I have worked alongside managers, owners, and my clients in many types of businesses, and I know what it takes to be a successful business, and I know how to train "good employees."The benefits of Supported Employment include increased retention, Job Coaching assistance, longevity, loyalty, and commitment. We work hard to ensure the success of our candidates!I teach weekly employment-preparation classes. I enjoy that part of the job very much. I teach my students the soft-skills they need to succeed in the working world - skills like productivity, attendance, safety, and cooperation. I love working for a non-profit. If I were ever to leave this position, I might be interested in being a traveling corporate trainer.
