Community Job Placement
People with disabilities constitute an amazing pool of vocational talent that is often overlooked.
Garten Services specializes in carefully matching individuals with special abilities to community jobs in which they will succeed.
In the process, everyone “wins”.
Employers discover employees with skills, talents and abilities that have often formerly been untapped.
Garten Services carefully assesses and provides training for workers who:
* Are qualified
* Have a strong work ethic
* Are dependable
* Meet the same performance standards as other employees
Garten focuses on serving people with disabilities while also serving our community, as we all live and work together. We strive to offer people with disabilities the opportunity for personal growth and meaningful life experience through vocational and retirement opportunities and day activities.
