Manufacturing Internship Program
Connecticut manufacturers are facing a hiring crisis—and we're part of the solution. Our internship program trains people with IDD in hands-on manufacturing skills, providing career exploration and workforce development. Interns gain experience with real technologies and machinery while manufacturers gain dependable, trained employees. It's a win-win that's expanding Connecticut's workforce.
Art Internship & Micro-Enterprise Development
Artists with IDD are learning to become entrepreneurs through our unique 6-month course. From creating business plans and becoming LLCs to marketing products and identifying target markets, participants are building sustainable social enterprises around their creative passions.
Remote Support Services
Our 24/7 virtual support brings personalized assistance directly to people throughout Connecticut—medication reminders, daily living skills coaching, virtual activities, and crisis support. It's flexible, independent living with the safety net of trained staff just a call away.
Supportive Housing
Through innovative developer partnerships, we're creating apartment communities where 25% of units are designated for people with IDD. With in-home support services, weekend and overnight on-site staff, and web-based call-for-aid technology, residents experience true independence in safe, desirable neighborhoods.
