Community Employment – Working for Opportunity Village

community employmentOpportunity Village operates numerous contracts that provide services to government agencies and private businesses throughout southern Nevada. These contracts provide good paying jobs for over 250 people with intellectual and other disabilities. Many people with disabilities prefer to work on these contracts because, while they earn competitive wages and are provided the same benefits as non-disabled co-workers, workers with disabilities also receive a higher level of support from Opportunity Village's specially trained staff than might be available through competitive employment.

Opportunity Village's detail-oriented disabled workers, with the support and training of our staff, are able to meet the same professional standards that workers without disabilities must meet. Opportunity Village is proud to provide our business and government customers the highest level of quality service.

Opportunity Village's highly-trained staff supervises and evaluates disabled workers as they progress through a development program, which allows them to earn money while learning the skills and work-related attitudes they'll need to be successful in the "world of work". Each disabled worker's capabilities are evaluated to ensure they are given the best opportunity to succeed.

Some of the businesses or government agencies that contracts for the services offered by Opportunity Village's Community Employment contracts include:

  • Nellis Air Force Base (food service, postal services, custodial, etc.)
  • Veterans Affairs (custodial)
  • Red Rock National Recreation Area (custodial)
  • McCarran International Airport (restroom attendant, parking lot maintenance & custodial)
  • Clark County Government Center (custodial)
  • Foley Federal Building (custodial)
  • Springs Preserve (Custodial and Grounds)
