NC’s Craig Brown, professor in the Carpentry and Renovation Technician (Co-op) program<\/a>, and former Construction Manager for Habitat for Humanity Niagara, appeared in part four of the TVO documentary series Employable Me. <\/em>The series examines the challenges that individuals with varying abilities face in the job market. Each episode features two job-seekers living with a physical disability or neurological condition who volunteer with local organizations to learn new skills.<\/p>\n

In the clip<\/a> (the segment with Brown begins at 11:35), Brown works with 25-year-old job-seeker Shauna, who has Asperger’s and ADHD, on a construction project for Habitat for Humanity. With Brown’s guidance, Shauna takes measurements and uses a miter saw to construct the skirt for the deck.<\/p>\n

“It was a fun day and Shauna really did a great job,” said Brown.<\/p>\n
