The Connection Co.

In our March Voices of Impact session, we’re joined by The Connection Co. for a meaningful conversation about expanding employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

The Connection Co. was founded to help job seekers with disabilities reach their employment goals while supporting the professionals and advocates who make that progress possible. Through their scholarship fund with us, they’re investing in individuals who are passionate about empowering, educating, and advocating for people with disabilities.

This session explores the work they’re doing in our community to increase job access, how their efforts are evolving alongside shifts in the industry, and the vision behind their scholarship fund.

What is Voices of Impact?
Voices of Impact is our monthly gathering designed to spark thoughtful, collaborative conversations around leadership, data, and collective action that strengthen our region. Thank you for joining us! In April, we will be having a conversation with the Boys and Girls Club of Portage County.

We’ve got a double birthday to celebrate at Team TCC! 🎉

Rick—what can we even say? He’s the guy everyone knows and loves. Rick’s community-building skills are truly out of this world—connecting dots, creating friendships, and advocating fiercely for others. He leads with his whole heart, and it shows in everything he does.

Sherry is also a fierce advocate and an incredible note-taker. She provides our consumers with steady, reliable support, helping set them up for long-term success once job coaching ends. Kind, dedicated, and deeply caring, Sherry’s commitment shines through in her work every single day.

We are so lucky to have both of you on Team TCC. Thank you, Rick and Sherry, for the passion, heart, and dedication you bring to our work every day. We hope your birthdays are as wonderful as the impact you make—please join us in celebrating them! 🎉

Job Development is about intentionally matching an individual’s strengths to the right opportunity.

Job Coaching ensures those strengths are understood, refined, and applied in real workplace settings.

Moments like stocking a shelf aren’t just tasks, they’re opportunities to build consistency, confidence, and long-term employability.

Sometimes the simplest tools make the biggest difference ✨

A visual timer, color-coded schedule, checklists, or labeled bins might seem small, but they can transform daily routines.

Whether it’s finishing a task at work, transitioning between activities in the classroom, or keeping a space organized at home, these simple tools reduce anxiety, increase independence, and make expectations clear.

Small tools. Big impact. 💛
