Meet Brandon
We love hearing how our clients excel after finding positions of employment within the community. Brandon worked at Weaver for eight years in various divisions, such as TruClean, EarthCare and SecurShred. Now, he’s working at Associated Materials. 
During his time at Weaver, he learned how to be self-motivated, understand the importance of being on time and how to build good working relationships. Because of his ability to effectively communicate with others and drive to do his very best, Brandon is doing great at work. He won multiple “Perfect Attendance” awards and receives bonuses for his excellent work.
Married for 12 years and with two pets, Brandon is always keeping busy.
Meet Tyrell
Tyrell worked at Weaver for 12 years, most recently as a crew member on the METRO sign crew team of the Community Group Employment department, before finally receiving his “dream job” at the Akron Metro Regional Transit Authority in October 2022 as a vehicle detailer.
While working at Weaver, Tyrell improved his communication skills, learned how to plan for independent employment in the community, became even more familiar with METRO and excelled in his transportation planning skills. In addition, he has worked hard to understand what he needed to do to move his career beyond Weaver.
Disability inclusion isn’t extra work for HR—it’s part of building a stronger team. It starts with clear job descriptions, better recruiting outreach and supportive onboarding, and continues through everyday communication and culture. Most accommodations are simple, and with the right partners, like Weaver, inclusion becomes easier and more effective. Small steps add up quickly and help create a workplace where everyone can contribute.
At Weaver Industries, soft skills like communication, teamwork and confidence are more than job essentials—they’re the foundation of personal and professional growth. Through daily collaboration, coaching and peer support, employees learn to express themselves, work together and build lasting confidence. These people-centered skills help create inclusive workplaces where everyone can contribute, connect and thrive.
Weaver Industries measures impact in more than numbers; it’s about the real moments that change lives. From the pride of a first paycheck to the confidence gained through new skills, impact shows up in the everyday work that brings dignity, inclusion and purpose. With staff who pour compassion and creativity into their roles, Weaver creates ripple effects that strengthen families, support local businesses and build communities where everyone belongs.
