Ed is someone who finds great value in work and when employment workshops in Iowa closed in early 2019 securing a community job was important to him. While his non-verbal communication style posed some challenges My Choice staff and Ed’s support team assisted him in pursuing employment options that were a match for his talents. Ultimately they discovered a good fit with Double HH Manufacturing. After a period of adjustment to his duties Ed settled into a routine that’s increased his efficiency – and his happiness – on the job. On a typical day you’ll find Ed in his work area in the packaging department skillfully stowing items into their containers and appropriately labeling each part. “He’s comfortable here. If I’m not around now he can do his job. He’s happy in his environment ” comments Ed’s Job Coach Amanda Hamilton. “It’s a very good fit.”
