Collaboration Since 2018

Starting in 2018, Jay Nolan Community Services has collaborated with the innovative Uniquely Abled Project (UAP), which shifts the paradigm of thinking from “disabled” to “uniquely abled.” JNCS and College of the Canyons (COC) work together to identify and train individuals to participate in the CNC training program through the Economic Development Division at COC through the Uniquely Abled Academy (UAA). This intensive career preparation program gives job seekers with high functioning autism an opportunity to start a new career as a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machinist.
