A Life Styles client since 2019, Les is near traditional “retirement age” but found himself eager to rejoin the working world about a year ago, at which time we connected him with the pros in our Supported Employment department.

​

One of Les’s job opportunities was with the Life Styles Shredding Company. Les took a tour of the facility—and immediately asked when he could start working! His enthusiasm, coupled with his performance at a formal job interview, sealed the deal: Les began working at the Shredding Company in October 2022.

​

For his part, Les is thrilled with pretty much everything about his job. "I love it all!," he says. "I like my co-workers, I like being able to make money—it puts me in a good mood. It gives me something to do and," he jokes, "it keeps me out of trouble. I just really like it."
