Associate Job Partners
Happy Hearts Working, Inc. is seeking schools and businesses to offer jobs for our HHW associates to practice, with the possibility of our associates securing part-time employment.
Our job partners play a vital role in building inclusive workplaces.
By partnering with HHW, you provide adults with IDD the chance to gain real-world experience and meaningful employment. Let’s create opportunity—together.
Before each HHW associate is considered for employment, skill levels for each HHW associate will be tracked for specified tasks which can be performed by the HHW associate. Data obtained from performing these tasks will be utilized for each HHW associate, to practice each of these skills, promoting and reinforcing positive results and achieving their goal for potential employment.
Benefits to HHW Associates:
When HHW associates achieve their goals for specific tasks, they will receive support from HHW staff to form a personal resume and application for a part-time job. HHW associates will be given the opportunity to interview for potential jobs that may lead to part-time employment, earning minimum wage.
Happy Hearts Working, Inc., will assign a 1-1 job coach HHW associates, to supervise and support our associates while working, until they no longer require this support system.
Happy Hearts Working, Inc. will communicate with business leaders and school administrators regarding our HHW associates performance as their employees. When needed, HHW will provide additional training sessions for HHW associates, to ensure our associates have successful relationships with employers.
