Our Services - Pre-vocational

The Prevocational program offers individuals with developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to learn basic employment skills such as completing assignments, working with co-workers, and arriving to work on time. Our community and the Prevocational program are both enriched by a partnership emphasis. Businesses within the community provide work ranging from labeling mailings to assembling lighting brackets. Other examples of work provided by community partners include assembly of diabetes testing equipment, collating and folding product brochures, community businesses play an integral role in the employment training process of the individual’s we serve. As a program partner, businesses benefit from a competitive and affordable labor force. Quality and a commitment to a “job well done” is a hallmark emphasis of the Prevocational program. The individual’s served through the program are dedicated and committed employees that strive for the highest level of quality in the product they produce.

The Prevocational program also offers cardboard recycling services. Consider the option of partnering with us instead of throwing unwanted cardboard waste in the trash or paying to have it hauled away. Cardboard can be brought to our location or arrangements can be made to pick up cardboard waste on a regular basis for our community partners.

If your business would like to make a difference in the lives of individual’s living with disabilities please contact Cheryl Bowlin, the Production Sales Manager at 317-773-8781.

Luther is a young man with a bright smile and a kind disposition. Because of the severity of his disability, Luther has limited verbal ability, and must complete normal day to day tasks such as getting to the lunch table, completing personal hygiene activities, and traveling to work in a wheelchair. Luther meets normal day to day challenges while living with profound disabilities. Even with these severe challenges, Luther lives with assistance in HIS home and attends the Prevocational training program at Janus Development Services. Luther enjoys his work day because of the opportunity to interact with his friends, eat lunch, and just enjoy some valuable time with others. Luther’s residential staff members explain that coming to Janus provides Luther with a meaningful day that enables him to access his community and to live life with joy. For those with living with severe disabilities, simple life experiences are truly valued and treasured. Luther is an incredible testament to the power of resiliency of the human spirit. Janus Developmental Services, Inc. is proud to provide meaningful services to Luther and others.
