Employers who work with individuals from AIM are able to access work incentives when they provide jobs. These incentives are in the form of tax credits and can be as high as $8,000 per individual, depending on how long the individual is employed.
We also offer "work tryout" periods for individuals and employers to take advantage of. This allows an employer the opportunity to evaluate an individual's on-the-job performance and potential at no cost.

Burger King, McDonald's, NYC Transit, Merrill Lynch, The Food Emporium, Burns Security, Macy's, Chase Manhattan, City bank, colleges, and other companies hire our clients.
