The Resource Center helps people
with disabilities gain employment
People with disabilities
enjoy greater opportunities
for employment than
ever before. In
Chautauqua County, the
largest employer of individuals
with disabilities is
The Resource Center.
TRC provides employment
and work training
opportunities to people
with disabilities in several
ways. Some 475 people
with disabilities are
employed through Allied
Industries, The Resource
Center’s manufacturing
and employment division.
Most of those people are
employed at TRC’s Work
Center locations in
Jamestown and Dunkirk,
where TRC performs work
for the federal government
and does subcontracting
work for local businesses.
Last year, The Resource
Center had sales of $54.5
million to the federal government.
TRC also operates a janitorial
business called
Environmental Services,
which cleans dozens of
area office buildings.
TRC’s Employment
Services Office supports
people with disabilities in
finding and maintaining
employment in the community.
Last year, The
Resource Center assisted
84 people with disabilities
in finding employment in
the community, and overall
some 175 people with
disabilities have jobs with
about 50 local employers.
Those businesses know
that people with disabilities
make for hard-working,
eager, dedicated
employees.
Despite the employment
gains that people with disabilities
have made, the
unemployment rate among
people with severe disabilities
is about 70 percent.
The Resource Center has a
list of some 70 people who
want to try community
employment.

Center can assist your
