Many charitable organizations will do job-training. Or they will volunteer at businesses big and small (Paid or unpaid). The big issue with this approach is it's difficult to find businesses that want to engage. Often the business owner or the senior VP has some connection to people with special needs and wants to assist...which is great. But when times get tough, these opportunities often fade away. Nicolas Ventures sort of turns this on its head. The idea is more along the lines of running a regular business and always trying to have people with special needs work there in some capacity whenever possible. Its's sort of built into the DNA. More to come!
About Nicolas Ventures!
Here at Nicolas Ventures we want to help people with special needs help themselves. This blog will be describing some of what we're doing to make this happen. It'a work-in-progress. Both Nicolas Ventures and this blog itself have much work to do, but it's better to start small and grown then wait for perfection. More to come!
