We foster their physical and emotional well-being and provide opportunities to experience life as any young adult. Mann's vision is a world where young adults with intellectual disabilities live a full life with independence and dignity. Towards that vision, our mission is to create livelihood opportunities for persons with IDD and nurture their physical and emotional well-being.

At Mann, we partner with a diverse range of organizations, across sectors and industries, to offer mainstream employment opportunities to our students. The unique skills and abilities of our students make them well-suited for roles involving process driven tasks. Furthermore, multiple studies show that employing people with disabilities results in reliable, motivated employees who contribute tangible business advantages and foster inclusive workplace cultures, attracting desirable talent.
Employees with disabilities also tend to be highly loyal and committed, resulting in remarkably low attrition rates. The Mainstream Employment training function offers timely, supportive training to our students using a variety of training methodologies and techniques thereby making them job-ready for mainstream hiring.
For those with significant disabilities hindering mainstream employment, we offer training in areas like art & craft, tailoring, embroidery, applique, and patchwork. To support this initiative, we’ve launched Karmann, a home and lifestyle brand exclusively staffed by trained artisans with disabilities. Karmann serves as a proof of concept for creating a profitable business leveraging the talents of PWDs.
