FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – November 5, 2018 – Greenspoon Marder has been recognized by the Dan Marino Foundation in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month for our collaborative efforts offering internships and employment to students of the Marino Campus living with autism and differing abilities.
Marino Campus interns work two days per week, for nine weeks at Greenspoon Marder to achieve hands-on job experience. The other three days, the students attend industry, employment, and social skills courses at the Campus. These internship opportunities help prepare young adults with autism and differing abilities for gainful employment, social competency, and independent living by building the necessary skills through unique programming.
Although Greenspoon Marder has worked with interns over the last three years, the firm began hiring interns for permanent positions over a year ago. Marino Campus Alumni work as part of the firm’s Office Services and IT departments.
For more than 26 years, The Dan Marino Foundation (DMF) has worked to empower individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. At Marino Campus, class instruction combined with real-world work experience prepares students in obtaining nationally recognized industry certifications in Hospitality and Computer Technology.
