Overview Of Our Ongoing Projects

The Polus Center and its partners have continued to help people with disabilities throughout the world with unwavering commitment despite the many challenges posed by the pandemic. Much has taken place in the past year that we would like to share with you as a member of the Polus community. Here are some brief updates on the various U.S. based and international projects.

Overcoming Employment Barriers

When the Polus Center for Social & Economic Development, got the word in January 2020 that they had received a Young Adults with Disabilities Employment grant to offer CVS Pharmacy Technician training — they got busy recruiting 15 young adults (age 18-35) to participate. Polus, a Massachusetts non-profit agency that promotes employment opportunities for people with disabilities, is collaborating on the project with longtime partners Commonwealth Corporation, MassHire North Central MA Workforce Board, and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission.
