Work at LSE
Who Qualifies for Employment?
To enter the program, individuals must be of working age (at least 18 years old), have a diagnosed disability and be willing and able to work.
What Sets LSE Apart from Other Programs?
Real Pay for Real Work
Workers at LSE receive hourly wages – much like their colleagues in competitive jobs. In fact, nearly all of the revenue that production department workers generated in contract income last year was paid back to them in salaries. These workers also receive at least annual pay reviews based on their performance. So, if workers become faster and more productive and show good attitude and effort, their pay rises. The significant sums that workers receive each week helps motivate them to develop their social skills and work ethic – key ingredients to landing competitive jobs. Weekly wages at LSE far exceed those of programs paying piece rate.
High Production, High Morale
LSE has established contracts that keep workers busy from the time they arrive in the morning until they go home in the afternoon. There’s no boredom, just the good feeling that comes with teamwork and an honest day’s effort. Morale is so high that during extended snow closings, workers have provided their own transportation to come in and work. How many staffs of so-called “normal” workers who were given days off because of snow would cut these vacations short to come in and work?
A Bright Future
Workers who develop their social skills and work ethic to levels needed by local businesses, can rely on LSE’ award-winning placement services to help find competitive jobs. In fact, workers are continually reassessed with the hope that they’re ready to move up to competitive employment. This hope creates higher expectations, greater hope and more self-respect.
