Sometimes finding a job opportunity starts with simply exploring your community!
Recently, EB was participating in a community Mapping Activity when he spotted Papa Murphy’s. Since he enjoys making pizza, he expressed interest in going inside to learn more about working there.
And we're so glad he did!
Not only was the business accepting applications, but the manager took the time to talk with EB about what working there looks like, from opening and preparing for the day to helping customers.
EB got to explore a workplace that matched his interests, ask questions, and learn more about the responsibilities. Best of all? He filled out and submitted an application himself!
This is why Mapping is such an important part of our Job Development services. It's not just about finding businesses that are hiring. It's about getting out into the community, discovering interests, exploring possibilities, and giving individuals an active voice in their employment journey.
We're proud of EB for taking the initiative and following through!
And a big thank-you to the team at Papa Murphy's for taking the time to welcome him and share more about their workplace.
