Employment
At any time during the year, between 350 and 400 men and women are enrolled in BI's employment program. They hold down steady jobs, both within the BI organizational structure and outside in the business community. The annual payroll for BI workers during fiscal year 2007-2008 was more than $1 million. Providing valued services for more than 26 years, BI workers devote their days to performing assembly line tasks and product construction at most BI sites. Others are employed in vineyards, supermarkets, restaurants, landscaping companies, and other jobs. Employment is key for people with disabilities seeking to become independent, contributing members of the community.
The value of the employment services cannot be overstated. Workers employed through BI are fierce in their determination to succeed. And, indeed they do succeed as evidenced by their employers who report that BI workers are loyal, committeed, focused and valued members of the workforce.
