RAMS Hire-Ability Vocational Services: A salute to our Production business partners

Our Hire-Ability Vocational Services is well known for the Employment Services, Employee Development, Café Phoenix, Vocational IT and Janitorial training programs. However, less is known about our business venture & the businesses that support the soft skills training and assessment program that provide individuals with mental health conditions paid work while working on their soft skills and other barriers to gain competitive employment.

For about 10 years, Mosaic Mercantile has been a close production business partner and continues to be the main vendor of Hire-Ability. Hire-Ability is the main source of workforce labor for Mosaic Mercantile and continues to meet their needs through packaging, labeling and preparing craft kits. Most of their items are sold through nationwide craft stores such as Michaels Arts & Crafts and Beverly’s Fabrics and Crafts.

Besides Mosaic Mercantile, our Hire-Ability production vendors include Living Intentions, an organic food company whose products are distributed through Whole Foods Market and Draegers Market. University of California San Francisco and University of the Pacific are two other vendors that we continually do business with, by packaging supplies for both dental schools. Other vendors that we are proud to partner with are Flax Art & Designs, Glob, KFOG and Open Door Products. Flax Art & Designs has recently added the Hire-Ability’s logo on their select craft paper items labels which are sold through their online business and retail stores.

These businesses provide revenue necessary to enhance our clients’ training and assessments through paid work activity.
