When Dawn Crozier started at Opportunity Enterprises in 2005, she not only took on the role as a group home manager, but also became an excellent example of how rewarding the vocational experience of working for individuals with disabilities can be. "It is very rare that you work at a job where you get so close to people. This job makes you look at yourself differently, by interacting with the residents," said Crozier. "To watch them accomplish tasks and grow is so awesome." On Friday, May 30, at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., the office of human resources at Opportunity Enterprises will be interviewing and hiring applicants in the following areas: Direct Service Professionals, Clean Team Crew and Ceiling/Floor Cleaning Specialists. Interested parties should go to the main entrance and check in with the agency receptionist. OE offers competitive benefits, including medical/dental/vision insurance, 401K/profit sharing program, vacation, sick, holiday hours, tuition reimbursement, corporate health club membership - and more!
