Anthony came to employU while still in high school to take part in Transition Youth Services where he completed several On-the-Job Trainings around the community. After graduation, Anthony took part in Discovery Services to help identify what would be the best opportunities for him to become successful in employment. Through this process, it was found that Anthony excelled at doing jobs where he was asked to repeat the same tasks for long periods of time. Things like folding towels are a simple enough task, but to do it for hours on end can become difficult. Anthony thrives with such requests. With the help of his employU Employment Specialist, Jeff, Anthony began a new On-the-Job Training where he hopes to find a customized placement at the conclusion. ? ? During his first week, Anthony demonstrated his ability to outpace the other workers in the laundry but it’s his attention to detail and ability to continue to work steadily that makes him the perfect team member. Anthony has routinely exceeded expectations and completed all the folding needed for the day in less than an hour. Through Customized Employment, Jeff is able to help Anthony find a career where he can showcase his skills in a way that is beneficial to the business while providing the structure Anthony enjoys. Anthony loves coming to work every day and showcasing his abilities. #employingabilities
