Transforming Lives Through Powerful Partnerships
Through ImpactWorks, our Workforce Readiness Program in partnership with the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC), participants embark on a transformative journey guided by the Pillars of Excellence, the foundation of all our programs and initiatives.
Specifically designed for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability and/or autism, this collaboration offers access to a vibrant, inclusive college environment where participants are empowered to learn, grow, and thrive. The program fosters personal and professional success in settings that promote confidence, independence, and connection.
Participants become active members of CCBC’s welcoming campus community, engaging in experiences that develop resilience and unlock their potential. Through mentoring, hands-on learning, and meaningful opportunities, they gain the skills necessary for career advancement and personal fulfillment.
ImpactWorks bridges the gap between education and employment, delivering a suite of opportunities including job shadowing, internships, vocational training, and mentorships tailored to align with individual strengths and goals. These experiences empower participants to pursue meaningful careers, explore entrepreneurial ventures, and make valuable contributions to their communities.
Beyond individual growth, ImpactWorks drives economic benefits by preparing participants to enter the workforce as skilled, confident contributors. The program creates opportunities for businesses to diversify their teams, benefiting from the talents and perspectives of participants while fostering inclusive workplaces. Communities also gain from the increased economic participation of individuals with disabilities, who actively contribute to local growth and development.
In addition to economic impact, ImpactWorks delivers significant social benefits, fostering inclusion, belonging, and lasting connections. By creating opportunities for participants to engage with peers, mentors, and community members, the program cultivates meaningful relationships that enrich lives and promote social integration. These connections not only enhance participants' confidence and emotional well-being but also strengthen the fabric of a more compassionate and unified society.
ImpactWorks is a pathway to empowerment and opportunity, equipping individuals with the tools, experiences, and support needed to achieve independence, purpose, and lasting success, while creating economic and social ripple effects that uplift families, businesses, and communities alike.
