About Employment Horizons History: Employment Horizons, formerly known as the Occupational Training Center of Morris County, was founded in 1957 by a group of concerned parents who wanted to expand work and personal growth opportunities for their children with disabilities. During the fifties and sixties, those with disabilities had very few options available to them and special education services were just evolving. Work centers were developed at that time to provide adults with disabilities a place where they could go to earn money and maintain their self-respect. Over the years, our agency has implemented innovative programs to meet the needs and choices of the individuals we serve, both on-site as well as in the community. Business Services Provided: For over four decades, our agency has met the needs of hundreds of small and large companies in the tristate area by providing them with trained, dependable and highly motivated employees to fill service-sector, fulfillment, groundskeeping and janitorial positions.
