Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for February is The Corporate Source

Watching the transition to adulthood brings upon many mixed emotions for the parent of any child. One of the deep concerns for parents of children with disabilities is how their child will succeed as they mature into adults. Will they live a productive life? Will they be able to support themselves and have independence? Will they be able to experience the beauty of accomplishments and achievements? Will they have a great quality of life?

An important consideration is employment. Meaningful employment gives a sense of pride and allows one to contribute to society in a significant way. It also provides financial stability and helps people fulfill their goals and dreams. Sadly, statistics show that about 80% of adults with disabilities are unemployed, and those who are employed are often underemployed.

The Corporate Source (TCS) is a nonprofit organization based in Garden City. They have been fulfilling their mission for 26 years, which is to promote employment opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide services leading to independence and fulfillment.

TCS is both an employer and service provider, with employees in the NY Metro area, Long Island, the Albany Capital Region, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the USVI. 85% of their direct labor have some type of a disability, including intellectual and developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, physical disabilities or other medical impairments, visual and hearing impairments, or mental health di culties that qualify as a disability under government regulations.

TCS provides outsourcing services in several areas including facilities management, janitorial, mail-room and courier services, switchboard operations and kennel attendants. Candidates for employment are referred to TCS from many sources, such as the Adult Career and Continuing Education ServicesVocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) services which is o ered through the

New York State Education Department and the Veteran’s Administration (VA).TCS also takes referrals from private agencies, local school districts, vocational training programs o ered through the Boards of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES) and more.

TCS has proudly adapted their hiring process to accommodate people with disabilities. Once an application is completed, candidates have an interview and short skills assessment to determine if the job is an appropriate match. Specialized training or prior experience is helpful, but TCS will absolutely train qualified candidates. Once on the job, The Corporate South can provide job support when and where it is needed or collaborate with job coaches from other organizations to promote the best chances of success on the job. Another special service that this organization o ers to their employees, as well as to outside referrals, is what they call “benefits counseling”, which is where certified benefits counselors provide meaningful advice to adults, youth and veterans.

TCS is hiring for many positions, which are all promoted on their website at www.thecorporatesource.org. If you are interested in applying for any available position, you can do so directly through their online application, which can be found at https://www. thecorporatesource.org/employmentservices, or by scanning the QR code below.

If you would like to learn more about TCS or get involved with their organization in any other way, please email Ruth-Ann. Gater@thecorporatesource.org or call 516-419-5613.

Presented by: Richard Knox
