Employment Specialist

Want to be part of something bigger? Every day as an Employment Specialist is a chance to celebrate progress, build confidence, and support individuals with disabilities as they grow into valued, independent members of society.

Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.
