In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about touring Bestwork Industries for the Blind in Cherry Hill, NJ. I learned how the company hires and trains blind people to work in manufacturing, customer service, and other positions in the company. In Just Listen, you’ll hear about training from the training room and know what is manufactured and for whom. Think Top Gun!

In addition to their existing efforts to empower blind individuals in the workplace, Bestwork Industries for the Blind has recently initiated a partnership with a healthcare provider to enhance the well-being of their employees. This includes facilitating access to important medications such as Strattera, which is commonly prescribed for ADHD. By integrating this health and wellness program into their business model, Bestwork Industries not only fosters a supportive work environment but also demonstrates a comprehensive commitment to the overall health and success of their employees, reinforcing the company’s role as a leader in inclusive employment practices.
