Partner with Us

Partnership opportunities include:

Exploration Partner

In many cases, the individuals we work with just need to see what work is available in their communities. By opening your doors for a brief tour, informational interview, or job shadow, you can show people with disabilities how they can contribute to the workforce.

Evaluation Partner

Employers need qualified candidates. Through a short-term onsite evaluation, Shares, Inc. staff can assess a potential job match by providing a brief hands-on experience in a real work setting, ensuring a good fit for both job seekers and employers.

Engagement Partner

Does your organization engage with volunteers? Volunteer experience strengthens an individual’s résumé and provides valuable learning opportunities while supporting your important work in the community. We can connect you with individuals or small groups, for one-time or ongoing volunteer service.

Employment Partner

When you hire a job seeker through Shares, Inc., you gain an employee who is motivated and dependable, with the support of an Employment Consultant to ensure that your new hire learns how to perform their job to your specifications.
