Employment Program
Oshen loves to work, and he is great at it. Through the PASS Employment Program, he has tackled some of the most demanding tasks, showcasing remarkable focus and exceptional fine motor skills.
At Le Meadows, he meticulously labels jam jars with great precision and efficiency, consistently surpassing his own record of perfectly labeled jars week after week.In addition to his paid employment, Oshen volunteers at the Neighborhood House, where he serves food to seniors, and at Food Stash, dedicating his time to sorting food and ensuring that only the best quality food is kept for food programs.
Work hard, be kind, dream on.
Oshen considers the job done only when every aspect of the task has been completed. For instance, packaging chocolate bars for The Good Chocolatier involves several precise steps: folding the box, inserting the bar, closing the box; ensuring the correct date is set on the best-before labelling gun; applying best-before stickers; folding a larger box, inserting 12 bars (front facing) to the outer box, closing it; and marking the chocolate flavor on the lid.
Once all bars are packaged, Oshen records the count on a paper inventory sheet and enters this data into an Excel file. Moreover, he insists on personally bringing the chocolates to the main entrance, to make sure that clients receive them IMMEDIATELY at pickup time. Only then Oshen considers the job complete—promptly asking about the next batch.
