We Have the People for Your Jobs!

To remain competitive, employers are looking beyond the traditional labor sources to access skilled, qualified candidates.

At New Horizons, many individuals receiving our services are capable of working in the community in various positions. In any community there are people who may put labels on others; whether they have disabilities or not. We have had the opportunity of working with people who can look past these labels and give the individuals we serve at New Horizons a chance to be included in the community through employment.

We have a number of people supported by New Horizons employed in factories, restaurants, grocery stores and livestock areas in the community. Some of the people who receive our services have great work ethics, have been with employers for 14 years or more, are dependable, have great attitudes, and are less likely to call in sick. Most of all they want to work and are not just there to get a paycheck!
