You may not be aware, but there are several "capabilities" opportunities in Ada.
It’s simply called Capabilities in Ada. It’s a program that provides community job and community integration services to area residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Breanne Settlemire is Ada’s community consultant. This summer she works with several Capabilities interns through Ohio Northern University. Interns are persons with disabilities.
"We have teamed up with ONU to create a program for individuals to learn job skills, learn about different vocations, and become more socially independent," she told The Icon.
One of this summer’s interns is Josh Grimes of Ada. As an intern he has worked in several ONU positions. These including the library, cafeteria, Freed Center and The Inn at ONU.
He’s looking for permanent community employment. Interns in the program learn new skills, develop and add references to their resume, create their own plan and schedule and learn how to get a job.
