ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Photo Center Program at Easterseals provides part-time employment for individuals with disabilities as Photo License Technicians (PLT). The PLTs work at Driver License Centers and are responsible for taking photos of customers and printing their new IDs or licenses. The job requires customer service experience and the ability to complete paperwork and maintain security.
Our staff typically work between 8 and 20 hours per week, receive a competative starting wage, and are granted salary increases upon completion of specific durations of service to acknowledge their continued commitment and performance. We offer multiple shifts including morning, afternoon, and all day. See the PLT job description here.
We advertise our job openings and we receive referrals from Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR). Many of our applicants also come to us as a referral from a friend who is an existing Photo License Technician.
Currently we have eight sites, located in Pittsburgh, Bedford, Johnstown, and Erie, that employ 50 Photo License Technicians.
