Best Buddies Jobs Program
The Best Buddies Jobs program represents one of our organization’s key mission pillars, Integrated Employment. This program secures jobs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), allowing them to earn an income and integrate into the workforce.
The Jobs program places focus beyond the typical jobs in which a person with IDD might be placed. Best Buddies focuses on finding work that matches the job seeker’s interests and talents.
Job Seekers
Individuals with IDD who are exiting the school system or are no longer a part of the school system can join the program. Ideal candidates are those who are seeking support to help identify and maintain jobs in their local community.
