Employers

We are always eager to hear from potential new employers about their business needs. More job opportunities means getting more people with intellectual/developmental disabilities in today’s workforce.

Any company interested in exploring the opportunity for job placement is encouraged to “Contact Us!” All of our services are free-of-charge.
