On Tuesday, October 21, the City of Auburn Hills celebrated the ribbon-cutting of Dutton Farm’s new location at Oakland University’s West Center in Auburn Hills. This new site is home to Dutton Farm’s Job Readiness Program, an initiative designed to equip adults with disabilities with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce.

The program offers comprehensive training, including resume writing, workplace etiquette, and job placement support. By providing these critical tools, Dutton Farm is helping participants build the foundation for successful careers. The new location at Oakland University offers participants the opportunity to engage with college campus life, providing an additional layer of integration into the community.

The launch of the Job Readiness Program coincides with National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a month dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the workforce.
