Sheltered Employment
For over 30 years, Double S has provided "sheltered employment" in our building located on Galloway Road. We've contracted with area businesses to provide piecework and tabletop assembly type jobs for individuals to perform to gain income. Over recent yers, the availability of this type of work has gradually been replaced by machinery or workers overseas creating long hours of downtime.
Enclaves
Enclaves, a form of sheltered employment, offer individuals a worksite in the community which is not supervised by the company, buy by Double S workers. Individuals are paid by Double S Industries, who in turn are paid by the company. Generally a work crew of 3-8 individuals goes into an area business to perform work for that company.
Job Development
Job development is a process by which emphasis is place upon finding a job to fit the person. Double S provides Supported Employment services as allocated in the consumer's individualized plan and budget. This service will be in the form of assessment, job development, job coaching and follow along. Call our Job Coach today for an assessment: Celeste Stein or email at cstein@doublesind.org
