All About Partnerships With Industry

Here’s what Partnerships With Industry (PWI) is all about.

PWI was established in 1985, to provide supported employment opportunities to adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities living in San Diego County. Since that time, PWI has opened three additional offices, strategically placed to serve the entire county, and has helped 11,000 individuals find employment and thrive in a work environment.

It is PWI’s mission to successfully create win-win partnerships between San Diego County businesses and adults with disabilities who want to work. PWI clients have a wide range of intellectual, developmental, and/or other disabilities; however, at PWI, we like to focus on their many ABILITIES rather than disabilities.

In addition to our more than 234 local business partners, PWI has also recently expanded the opportunities it provides by opening a Document Destruction Center. The Document Destruction Center is a separate business, operated by PWI clients. Clients collect, sort, and bale paper materials for recycling.

PWI is dedicated to providing the highest quality employment opportunities, and the highest quality of job training and support to those it serves so they can find meaningful and lasting employment, and move toward maximum independence.
