Reaching his goals
Brayden’s hard work and dedication have led to increased job responsibilities.
Brayden Walterhouse has been employed at a major home improvement retailer for over a year. Brayden is a hard working, dedicated young man who is excelling in his customized position. He started off working as a seasonal associate, helping keep the seasonal area clean and presentable. Over time, due to Brayden’s hard work and desire to always do more, his job duties have increased. He is now responsible for a large number of tasks including assisting in the paint department, flooring department, organizing and straightening the hardware department, doing various administrative duties and cleaning the seminar room.
Brayden required a job that could be customized to his Ideal Conditions of Employment. Through the Discovery process, C.B.I. Consultants found that Brayden enjoys working independently, but around others in a social setting. He was seeking a place where he can complete structured tasks but also be given an opportunity to learn and have flexible hours.
Taking these conditions into account, a customized position was developed for Brayden with a major home improvement retailer which matched his conditions of employment and their unmet needs. Brayden has performed well in his position and has just received a raise and an increase in hours.
Brayden enjoys being challenged and succeeding in his goals. He has just moved in to a home share and is excited to be learning to cook, clean and do laundry on his own. He credits his job with teaching him proper cleaning skills, patience, confidence, motivation, and developing his independence.
Brayden’s future goals include traveling across Canada and Europe and becoming an advocate for people with disabilities. With Brayden’s hard work and strong desire to succeed it will only be a matter of time before he reaches those goals.
