Employer Partners

William “Bucky” Buchanan has worked at
Bob’s BMW for 25 years.

Supported employment opportunities are developed by working with people through the discovery process and by identifying potential employers to achieve their employment goals. Employment Specialists and Job Developers work with the person to identify strengths, opportunities, strategies and any accommodations needed for the person to be successful. After the person begins employment, specialists, developers, and direct service professionals continue to provide supports needed to maintain a successful work relationship between the employee and the employer.

The Arc has established relationships with many businesses in Howard County. The following businesses have supported people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by hiring them as employees:
