FREE support to businesses hiring workers with disabilities!

Many businesses currently have workers with a disability. In fact, 20% of the workforce has a disability or will acquire one during their working years (ages 16-65 years old).

Every business should have a place of support to aid them with questions regarding a worker with a disability.

Our Disability Resource Coordinator is trained to address the unique needs and concerns of business and their employees with disabilities.

We can assist with the following:

  • Reasonable Accommodations
