Story

“Jason is a stellar example of hard work, honesty, and the standard of excellence in all aspects of his work and how he lives his life” Snap Tight Products, LLC

Jason applied for IDVR Services after being referred by his Probation Officer at Idaho Department of Corrections due to his struggles with maintaining consistent long-term employment and having his most recent position as a laborer in stucco not work out.

Jason knew he enjoyed working in the construction field but knew he needed support to find a position within the industry that would meet his economic needs and have long-term potential.

Jason obtained employment at Snap Tight Products, LLC. They specialize in pre-finished stucco to be installed on panels which aligned with skills Jason had obtained while working in other construction positions previously.

IDVR partnered with Idaho Department of Labor’s WIOA program to be able to assist Jason with additional skill obtainment.

Through the partnership with Department of Labor and Vocational Rehabilitation Jason was assisted to maintain his new employment position and to obtain additional skills necessary to be promoted to a Designer with Snap Tight Products, LLC.

Vocational Rehabilitation assisted with an on On-the-Job Training with the employer for hands on skill development during his training supported by Idaho Department of Labor.

Jason’s employer also invested in Jason and assisted him with purchasing software necessary to complete the work with his new skills.

At the start of his time working with IDVR Jason was struggling with sobriety, was making $10.00/hour, and was living in a halfway house. Through his effort and perseverance, Jason is now happily married, sober, a proud homeowner, and extremely happy in all aspects of his life.
