Overcoming Barriers to Employment with Zach Sandy

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast I talk with Zach Sandy from Job Squad Incorporated to talk about how they help people with disabilities find meaningful work. He shares how Job Squad provides training and support to overcome barriers like transportation or licensing and creates lines of business that employ people directly. One of their best known operations is mail sorting, where teams collect, organize, and deliver mail while saving customers money and creating steady jobs. We also discuss their warehouse partnership with West Virginia state parks and tourism that allows them to manage ecommerce orders, pick and pack products, and ship them to customers. At the expo where we meet, Job Squad has brought together employers, government programs, and community organizations to give families and individuals access to resources that are often hard to find. Zach tells me his hope is to raise awareness in the community and with businesses that Job Squad is not just a nonprofit but a partner that delivers real value while building skills and careers. I close by thanking him for the work he does and reminding everyone to hustle hard, hustle smart, and hustle with a smile.
