Success Story
Randy
Randy, Supported Employment ConsumerRandy experienced the transition to competitive integrated employment when he joined our Supported Employment program in 2019. Randy previously worked at a group employment site for a full-service marking device manufacturer. He was compensated based on his productivity and made as little as $3.20 an hour.
Randy now works at Home Depot in their gardening department, where he interacts with customers, tends to the plants and inventory, contributes to a team, and is compensated with equity.
“My favorite part about working at Home Depot is helping customers! And watering the plants. If there’s no watering to be done, there’s always more to do.”
