Tav recently visited the PA State Capitol in Harrisburg for National Disability Employment Awareness Month, alongside Via’s partner UniqueSource Products & Services. Accompanied by Sean Hartman, Via’s Director of Business Development and Small Group Employment, Tav shared his inspiring story of receiving a second chance at employment with PA Senator Christine Tartaglione. Tav, who works two jobs — at the PA Office of the Attorney General and the Lehighton State Police Barracks — networked with peers, shook hands, and confidently introduced himself, spreading the message of the contributions of workers with disabilities and the importance of inclusive employment practices. Via proudly supports people with disabilities, helping them learn valuable skills for meaningful employment and a path toward independence.
