20. ____________ Nominated for Supported Worker Award
___________ has been nominated by Colleen O‟Reilly, Vocational P.C., for the 2007 Oklahoma Association
for Persons in Supported Employment (OKAPSE) Supported Worker Award.
___________ has been employed by Albertson‟s (now Homeland) in Muskogee, OK, for almost 10 months,
starting as a Customer Service Representative. He was excited by this opportunity to make a new
beginning and incorporate more change into his life.
___________ had been working in the fast food industry for several years and had been wanting the
chance to work in the grocery business instead. After being hired at Albertson‟s he worked for about four
months with a job coach. Then with the help of the program he as was able to transition into a stable and
reliable employee.
Now ___________ has been able to build great relationships and natural supports at the store. The
management “really thinks the world of ___________,” states Colleen in her nomination letter. “He has
received two raises and they have added new responsibilities to his job description. He is now ordering the
store‟s „front supplies.‟”
___________‟s success at Albertson‟s is an excellent example of how a consumer‟s placement in the right
job with the right people allows them to grow and gain confidence in themselves. This helps an individual
be a success not only personally but also for his or her employer.
“We are proud of __________,” Colleen writes, “and want to encourage him to continue the inner growth
and confidence he has gained at Albertson‟s. INCOR will keep giving him the support he needs to keep
growing.”
Congratulations, _________________, on your nomination for this award!
