Herkimer Industries Gets New Shredder for Mall in Ilion Thanks to Workforce Development Institute Grant
Herkimer Industries, the vocational division of Arc Herkimer, has a new industrial shredder thanks to a Workforce Development Institute grant.
The new shredder is set up at the Arc Herkimer Mall in Ilion where it will enable the organization to train and retain employees with developmental disabilities. Maintaining the shredding process in-house helps Herkimer Industries achieve its goal of facilitating a work environment which allows people with developmental disabilities to achieve greater personal and financial independence.
According to Arc Herkimer’s Vice President of Industrial Operations, Michael Lamb, “Shredding is a job that is often given to employees at Herkimer Industries because it helps them develop valuable skills that will assist them in moving up in the workforce.”
