The following is an email announcing an Austin-area employment opportunity for ex-offenders:
>>> Paul French <frenchp13@yahoo.com> 7/17/2005 4:45:17 PM >>> Greetings All, I want to announce a non-profit job readiness
program for the mentally disabled, chemically dependent, developmentally disabled male and female adults who need
a job and can provide proof of disability. Many of the people who we hire are ex-offenders (excluding sex offenders or
aggravated violent offenders), the homeless or mentally handicapped and generally disabled who normally can't
find work. The work is litter control on state highways and no experience is necessary. We also offer job outplacement,
supportive referral services and recovery training free to the employees. The legislature is giving lip service
to promote community programs as alternatives to incarceration but what do they really mean if these people
can't find work? Please post this attached flyer and tell anyone (with a verifiable disability) who
is struggling to find work. We have 25 immediate openings and have obtained a new contract with the Texas Dept. of Transportation
to begin on September 1st and can hire 30 more employees. They must have documentation to verify their disability,
picture identification, a social security card and able to pass a urine test. If you have any questions
or need more information, either shoot me an email or call me at (512) 490-2450. Your assistance is greatly
appreciated. Sincerely,
Paul French Vocational Rehabilitative Specialist On Our Own Services Inc.
