CSAAC Employs Individuals Through Supported Employment Program
 

Through its Supported Employment program, CSAAC creatively matches individuals with job opportunities while under the supervision of a job coach.  Two of our individuals work alongside CSAAC administrative staff each day at the new Jane Salzano Center for Autism.  Javier is our front-desk receptionist, where he answers phones, pages employees, schedules meetings, and greets visitors.  Xavier, our office porter, prepares photo copies, and assists with administrative and housekeeping tasks, as needed.  The in-house employment experience is enriching for both Javier and Xavier, and provides an opportunity for visitors and guests to witness first-hand the quality of CSAAC’s service and the commitment to the individuals it supports.  Our hope is that one day both of these talented individuals will have full-time employment elsewhere.  CSAAC continues to develop a vocational path for individuals to learn and earn, and will continue to launch programs that improve individuals’ self-esteem, offering a sense of pride for both them and their families, enabling them to give back to their communities.  Currently, CSAAC individuals are employed with over 30 county employees, including The Gazette, TJ Maxx, and Todd Allen Printing.
 

Calling all employers!  Help CSAAC continue its commitment of pairing the individuals it serves with local jobs.  If there are opportunities for employment at your business and you are motivated to make a difference in someone’s life, please contact John Solyst, Supported Employment, CSAAC, at 301-762-1650 or send email now.
