What kind of work is completed in the Site-Based Program?
The individuals enrolled in the program work on a variety of jobs that typically involve packaging and assembly of small items for small and large companies. A majority of the work can be completed while sitting at a work station with 1 to 3 other workers. Jobs which require standing and movement around the work floor would be assigned based on any workplace restrictions for lifting, ability to carry product, bending, stooping, and/or stamina concerns. Many work tasks require counting skills to some degree. If an individual needs assistance with this skill, a number of adaptive devices have been made to ensure accuracy. Some individuals work on an in-house janitorial crew under the supervision of the maintenance supervisor. Being acutely aware of various medical conditions within the Site-Based Program, the program avoids any contract that would involve chemicals/ingredients that may pose a health and/or safety risk.
