Hire a Cakeable Graduate

Our interns have 3 to 6 months of on-the-job vocational training to develop new skills, build confidence, and discover new possibilities for their lives. When they’re ready for the next step, we work with them to find a long-term job in the community.

That’s where our employer partners come in! 

First, we’ll have a conversation with you about your needs and open positions. Next, we’ll match you with a Cakeable graduate who might be a good fit and offer IDD training for your team. Once your new team member joins, we’ll provide on-site job coaching while they transition into their new role. To ensure a successful employment outcome, we remain available for consultation over the lifetime of each job placement.
