DocuSign Envelope ID:6D821DA0-CO6F-4D38-BB4F-DB28CB54AD8E XHIBIT A <br /> PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to develop marketable and <br /> transferable skills. In addition to work skills, students learn life skills- such as resume <br /> building, daily living, and social skills. Our job coaches assist students with disabilities <br /> transitioning from high school by developing a student's strengths and working towards <br /> independence in areas such as employability, transportation, and daily living skills. <br /> Individuals who receive services from OE have the opportunity to go to work every day, <br /> earn a salary, pay taxes, buy goods and contribute to their communities. Individuals <br /> learn needed skills and work habits that lead to community employment. Senior <br /> employees have the opportunity to participate in integrated community-based senior <br /> citizen and retirement activities. OE has helped thousands of individuals with <br /> disabilities gain employment and work towards self-sufficiency. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any <br /> major changes in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director?Are there <br /> new initiatives?) <br /> Last year we reported on our application that OE was invited to join a new commercial <br /> venture called the Consumer Products Packaging Initiative (CPPI). This was a very <br /> lengthy selection process with over 200 nonprofits applying to participate. OE is a <br /> founding member of this initiative. The Consumer Products Packaging (CPP) although <br /> still in its pilot phase OE has been working with other similar organizations in the <br /> network to provide kitting and packaging services for national business clients. The <br /> initiative has been assisting in marketing well as utilizing the strength of the group to <br /> seek discounts for consumables to support the CPP Group's members and increase job <br /> opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Orange County. OE has been able to bid <br /> on jobs throughout North America for work in Orange County. We have also developed <br /> a new relationship with AW, NC Inc. a triangle area business that is hiring clients of OE <br /> to perform janitorial services. <br /> OE is collaborating with a developmental day program for children with disabilities, <br /> which has been a staple in Orange County for many years. Although still in the <br /> planning phase, the developmental day program is considering relocating its daily <br /> operation to a space on our current property in Hillsborough. We still have many details <br /> to work out but are very excited about the possibilities this collaboration will bring. <br /> Agency Information 1/31/2017 8:24:51 AM Pago 5 of 20 <br />
