🤝 Emory Valley Center is always looking to partner with great local businesses that value hard work, reliability, and teamwork.

🌟 What a business gains when they hire inclusively:
• ✅ Reliable and consistent employees they can count on
• 📈 Employees who are motivated to learn and grow within their business
• 😊 Positive contributions to team morale and workplace culture
• 🌍 A workforce that reflects their community and values
• ⭐ A stronger, more inclusive reputation with customers and staff

🛠️ Our program offers support every step of the way, including job coaching and follow-up, to ensure a smooth transition for both the new employee and the employer.

💙 Hiring a person with a disability is a powerful way to strengthen your team while giving someone the opportunity to grow and contribute to their community. Many of our business partners have found these employees to be dependable, motivated, and proud of the work they do.

📣 Thank you for helping spread the word about inclusive employment — it could make a real difference for someone who’s ready to work and learn.
