On Site Workshop
At our 20,000 square foot industrial
Workshop
supported by our newly constructed 20,000 square foot warehouse
annex, clients learn light manufacturing skills such as
assembling, packaging, collating, shrink-wrapping, and blister
packaging and then utilize these skills to assemble and package
products that are sold by local businesses as well as national
chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreen’s, Eckerd
Drugs, and Toys-Я-Us. Currently,
we provide paid employment for 200 individuals with disabilities.
Our ability to operate the Workshop as a successful business venture is the result of creating a quality work environment for our clients, providing effective training in a variety of work skills, striving to assist each person to achieve his/her full potential for productive work, and instilling in our clients a positive work ethic. At the same time, we meet customer expectations for quality service.
Supported Employment
"It makes me feel better about myself now that I am working and I don't feel lonely anymore."
- Supported Employment Client
"I have found working with New Horizons is both professionally and personally rewarding. The employees are a joy to work with, report to work early each day, are hard workers and do their job with a smile. The customers and fellow employees find New Horizons workers a pleasure to work with."
- Local supermarket manager
Clients
are placed in regular paid jobs in the community and paired with
a job coach who works along side of that person, providing
whatever support, assistance, training, coaching, mentoring,
problem resolution, and advocacy the person may need in order to
succeed on that job.
We currently support nearly 120 individuals working in community employment, earning wages, participating in the everyday rhythm and ritual of work, demonstrating that individuals with disabilities represent a viable workforce, and giving back to the community through the taxes they pay.
