RG&E and Arc of Monroe relaunch collaborative program to employ individuals with disabilities
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A collaborative program between RG&E and the Arc of Monroe announced its relaunch on Thursday.
The Investment Recovery Program, launched in 1992, has been reintroduced to provide resources for employment support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Greater Rochester area.
'This program was successful 33 years ago, and we want to continue providing support and offering a positive experience,' Tracy Selby, coordinator of the Investment Recovery Program, said.

The program supports the work of The Arc of Monroe's Job Path program and the organization's effort to empower individuals with disabilities to live integrated lives and build community. The Job Path program is recognized as the first program to provide employment services for individuals with disabilities living in Western New York.
'It's partnerships like these that help The Arc of Monroe further its mission. We want to see the people that we support thrive in the communities they live in. The program gives them the opportunity to gain new skills and take part in competitive employment,' said the Director of Business Relations for Arc of Monroe's Job Path, Luke Mayo.
Two participants from the Arc of Monroe participate in the Investment Recovery Program and work at RG&E's Scottsville Road facility. Their tasks include sorting different metals from utility poles for recycling five days a week.
