On the latest episode of Table26, the new energy podcast from ClayDean Electric, Tammy Bellofatto, Executive Director of Bayaud Enterprises, talks shower trucks, redemption and how her organization supports vulnerable populations with employment.
Bayaud is one of our community partners — we have 100 great organizations in the program — a group of great folks who help out by supporting our employees. The organization is focused on keeping people employed, providing support through placement and training. At ClayDean, Bayaud has been working with us in our mission to keep electricians employed.
In the podcast recording booth, Tammy joined ClayDean’s President Adam Feuerstein, Director of Talent Acquisitions/HR/Safety Liaison Amy Van Meter, and New Energy Development Michael Tipton. They discussed a range of issues important to job seekers:
Tammy is relatively new to Bayaud, having been appointed to this role in September 2019. She was previously director of vocational services at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
In the “You Can Overcome Anything” episode of Table26, Bellofatto shares her own personal experiences and helps listeners understand how people experiencing homelessness, seeks the same things that all of us want – a safe place to sleep, a steady source of income, and the resources to be self-sustainable. “Bayaud enterprises went to the people that we serve and said, ‘How can we help you what, what would you like us to do?’ And they told us that one of the hurdles to employment is not having clean clothes. So we took one of our old shredding trucks and put in washers and dryers,” shared Bellofatto in the podcast interview.
Bayaud Enterprises’ mission is to create Hope, Opportunity, and Choice, with work as the means through which people with disabilities and other hurdles to employment can more fully participate in the mainstream of life.
