The Fulton nonprofit currently employs more than 180 people. Founded in 1968, Oswego Industries says it works to “support and improve quality of life” for adults with disabilities.
Document imaging, scanning, and shredding has been part of Oswego Industries’ operations for more than three years, the nonprofit said in a news release.
The document imaging and digitalizing program currently processes about 100,000 images per month, but has plans to increase output to over 250,000 per month.
One of the organization’s customers recently agreed to supply an additional 4.5 million images to be digitized over the next three years, Oswego Industries said. It didn’t name the customer.
The decision “nearly triples” the workload of the digitizing department, prompting Oswego Industries to pursue new employees.
“Our community is experiencing slowed economic development and we hope that these new positions will stimulate growth,” Laurie Davis, executive director of Oswego Industries, said in the nonprofit’s release. “We are excited to provide so many jobs for applicants from a wide range of employment experiences including recent graduates, people returning to the workforce and skilled professionals.”
Oswego Industries is a sister agency of the Arc of Oswego County, which provides services for children and seniors with disabilities.
