PARC Productions has been providing vocational services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities for more than 50 years.

PARC Productions focuses on teaching people the skills needed in a work environment. Skills are acquired while doing light assembly, packaging, bulk mailing, and janitorial/cleaning work.

The type of work skills learned include reporting to work on time, appropriate interaction with co-workers and supervisors, wearing clothing and protective equipment befitting the job, and workplace safety.

PARC Productions provides the opportunity to learn such skills by doing subcontract work for businesses.

Light assembly, packaging, and bulk mailing activities tend to be repetitive in nature and labor-intensive, allowing for numerous teaching opportunities necessary to help individuals develop work skills. Bulk mailing tasks include folding, sealing, collating, and stamping.

Packaging activities require the precise use of sensitive scales to ensure the accuracy of net weight. Assembly work varies greatly, from gluing and folding cardboard trays to connecting plastic tubing and organizing calibration kits.

PARC Productions also offers janitorial/cleaning services to several local companies.

The variety of the jobs available and the individualized instruction allow people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to gain valuable work skills and knowledge while doing meaningful work.

Individuals performing subcontract work at PARC Productions are paid in accordance with their ability and federal wage and hour regulations. The ultimate goal at PARC Productions is to help people gain the skills necessary to eventually enter the competitive labor market.
