A strong advocate for employment choice for individuals with disabilities, Jones has been working in the field for more than a decade. In addition to managing employment services for Inroads, where he and his team provide support in the areas of job search, career planning, job coaching and long term on the job supports, Jones mentors at-risk youths ages 5 to 18.
