We are thrilled to share that Prescott Group has been awarded the Wiltshire Award of Excellence in Supported Employment, a prestigious national honour presented by the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE). This award recognizes exceptional individuals or agencies that have made significant contributions to the advancement of inclusive employment and the promotion of full citizenship for Canadians with disabilities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlene Kuhn, Prescott Group\u2019s Manager of Community Employment and Engagement, accepted the award on behalf of our team at the CASE National Conference. In her moving remarks, she reminded attendees that inclusive employment is not just a service\u2014it\u2019s a human right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis recognition means so much to us\u2014not just because of what it celebrates, but because of what it stands for: the right of people with disabilities to live full lives, supported and valued in their communities,\u201d said Kuhn. \u201cEmployment is not a privilege\u2014it is a vital part of inclusion, dignity, and citizenship.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Prescott, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to build a life of their choosing and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Our inclusive employment strategies\u2014like JobLinks, the Saturday Jobs Program, and our thriving social enterprises including Pinkie\u2019s Thrift and the North End Baking Co.\u2014create pathways for people to gain experience, earn fair wages, and be recognized for their unique strengths and talents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
