Why Hire People with Disabilities?

Businesses are discovering the labor market’s best-kept secret — hiring persons with disabilities can reduce high employee turnover and, in some cases, can also provide tax deductions. Furthermore, new employees under certain government programs are provided on-the-job training from agencies, such as Gulfstream Goodwill.

Jude, shown at right, is a Service Technician at Aamco Transmissions in Delray Beach. In spite of Jude’s condition, which necessitates dialysis three days each week, he continues to demonstrate a strong will to learn and succeed.

"Jude is an excellent employee," said Brian Bernstein, Aamco Customer Service Manager. "He comes in early and stays late."
