Unions job postings thru DisabilityWorks.org

[Guest guest]

This is from the Disabilityworks.org online newsletter. They post

job leads and this was what came through today. If you're not

already on their mailing list, and are trying to help someone find a

job, you might want to check out this resource. Here was the list

of job leads I got today (my personal favorite was the Roofing

Apprentice one, it reminded me of one of our IPADD members who'd

sent in a picture of her son on top of a roof at a Habitat for

Humanity building project. )
