The Employment Model: DePaul Industries On 105.1 FM – The Buzz

February 6, 2012 News

105.1 The BuzzThere’s a great radio overview of the DePaul Industries’ business model at 105.1 FM The Buzz, highlighting our various business units and how we operate a integrated social venture—successfully helping business and people with disabilities simultaneously.

It’s an interview with CEO Dave Shaffer from a little over a year ago, but it is still supremely relevant to the way we operate:

“Our business is completely competitively driven. There are no excuses. People are not hiring us or engaging us because we employ people with disabilities. They’re engaging us because they need to have the work done.”

Listen to the interview at 105.1 The Buzz.
