EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS--OUTLOOK NEBRASKA HAS BUILT A SELF-SUSTAINING BUSINESS MODEL DESIGNED TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED IN MANUFACTURING AND ADMINISTRATIVE ROLES. OUTLOOK NEBRASKA EMPLOYS PEOPLE WHO ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION; ABOUT 52% OF OUR ASSOCIATES HAVE IMPAIRED VISION AND WE ARE THE LARGEST EMPLOYER OF THE BLIND IN NEBRASKA. OUTLOOK OPERATES A MANUFACTURING FACILITY THAT PRODUCES TOILET TISSUE AND PAPER TOWELS. MORE THAN 75% OF THE WORKFORCE ENGAGED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THESE PRODUCTS IS LEGALLY BLIND, QUALIFYING OUR PRODUCTS FOR MANDATORY PREFERENTIAL STATUS FOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASE. THE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS COMPRISE MOST OF THE REVENUE AND OPERATING EXPENSES IN OUR FINANCIALS, PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY THE COST OF THE RAW MATERIAL. IN 2018, WE PURCHASED AND CONVERTED OVER 7,500 TONS OF TISSUE INTO SALEABLE PAPER PRODUCTS, THIS ALONG WITH OTHER RAW MATERIALS, REPRESENTING OVER 54% OF THE OPERATING EXPENSE.
