Job-A-Palooza 2025

In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Job-A-Palooza will be a collaborative effort between Stone Belt Arc and Down Syndrome Family Connection. We aim to empower individuals with disabilities to explore various career paths and gain valuable hands-on experience. Job-A-Palooza is not a traditional job fair. It is a unique opportunity for individuals with disabilities to engage in tactile, hands-on activities that simulate realistic job tasks. Hosted at The Warehouse, the event will feature tasks and skill assessments provided by local businesses in the Bloomington area. Employers are invited to bring tasks representative of their operations, allowing participants to explore potential career interests firsthand. Our objectives with this event is to empower individuals with disabilities to explore employment opportunities through experiential learning and foster meaningful connections between participants and local businesses. Registration is open to people of our community including clients, students of MCCSC and surrounding county schools and any other individuals with a disability interested in seeking employment or learning about career opportunities. In addition to the hands on tasks, we will also offer mock interview practice for anyone interested in developing interview skills.
