Product assembly and shipping is done at Partnership With Industry (PWI). Partnership With Industry (PWI) provides supported employment opportunities to adults with intellectual and\/or developmental disabilities living in San Diego County. Since October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month we would like to share a little about what PWI does for our community. The following information is from Partnership With Industry’s website and their October Newsletter.<\/div>\n
It is PWI\u2019s mission to successfully create win-win partnerships between San Diego County businesses and adults with disabilities who want to work. PWI clients have a wide range of intellectual, developmental, and\/or other disabilities; however, at PWI, we like to focus on their many ABILITIES rather than disabilities.<\/div>\n
Here is the impact the PWI is making on the community from their October newsletter:<\/div>\n
We serve 750 adults with disabilties daily<\/div>\n
We employ 1,000 adults with disabilities annually<\/div>\n
We have a staff of 118, 70 of whom are Employment Training Specialists (aka job<\/div>\n
coaches)<\/div>\n
Our oldest client is 72 years young<\/div>\n
Our youngest client is 18 years old<\/div>\n
100% of those we serve were unemployed prior to coming to PWI<\/div>\n
Across the US 77% of adults with development disabilties are unemployed. PWI and our amazing staff are working against that statistic every day, to help adults with developmental disabilities let their many ABILITIES shine and prove to everyone that they are more than capable of employment.<\/div>\n
