The MARO Employment and Training Association is a network of organizations that create opportunities for people with barriers to community access and employment. MARO members value:
* Full participation in society by all its members
* The opportunity for all people to work
* The expertise of our members
* Integrity in business operations
* Matching available resources to community needs
* The entrepreneurial spirit
MARO members provide employment, independent living, community living supports, skill building and rehabilitation training to thousands of people with barriers. People with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. People on welfare. People who have sustained a workplace injury and can't do their previous job. People returning from prison. MARO members help put people to work and back into the community.
Many MARO members also manufacture products for, and provide industrial services to, hundreds of Michigan companies and to the state of Michigan and the federal government. These industrial operations provide training opportunities for consumers being served in MARO agencies. Workers do industrial sewing, packaging of all kinds, parts cleaning, assembly, microfilming, machining, metal stamping and make wooden pallets, plastic trash bags, mops, paint stirrers, yardsticks, industrial wiping cloths, automotive components, picture frames, survey stakes, thermal underwear, toothbrushes and more. Over 60 MARO members provide these services throughout the state.
