We stated in our earlier email that our intent was to re-open our ProPak locations beginning on Monday, June 8th, 2020. Unfortunately, due to various transportation restrictions coming from the state we are unable to open on the 8th.
We are still working through the restrictions and we anticipate further guidance from the Ohio Department of DD to come out shortly. Based on the anticipated guidance forthcoming we hope to be able to open the following Monday, June 15th.
We apologize for the delay as we are all anxious to get back. I assure you we will continue to advocate at the state level for relief in the restrictions in many areas that will hopefully allow us to get back to work at ProPak.
If you have questions, please feel free to call or email Carol Flunoy at (330) 245-7166 or email to cflunoy@weaverindustries.org.
Structured workdays help individuals with disabilities build skills, confidence and independence by creating consistency, reducing stress and improving focus. Routine breaks tasks into manageable steps, reinforces essential workplace skills and allows individuals to complete responsibilities with less support over time. This structure supports long-term growth and prepares individuals for greater independence and employment success.
Micro-internships in supported employment offer employers a simple way to create inclusive, short-term work opportunities that help individuals with disabilities build skills and confidence. These structured projects allow businesses to evaluate talent, strengthen their teams and expand opportunity while creating meaningful pathways to long-term success through thoughtful support and clear expectations.
Supported employment is about more than job placement — it’s about helping individuals set and reach meaningful goals that build confidence, independence and long-term stability. At Weaver Industries, goal setting starts with listening and turns personal hopes into clear, achievable steps, with ongoing support along the way. As individuals grow, their goals evolve, making employment not just a paycheck, but a pathway to purpose, progress and belonging.
