October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and we at Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts would like to spotlight Izaak and his internship!Through our Career Connections division, Izaak has been interning at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts. There, he has learned to care for the gallery by cleaning and maintaining the space. With the aid of his job coach and gallery manager, he has gained a sense of responsibility and focus. He has opened more up, expressing himself in his job, as well as through his art.
This internship has helped him hone in on his artistic talents. He has not only had a great experience developing job skills for the future, but has successfully sold his own artwork at the center! Good work, Izaak!
