We believe persons with disabilities have the right to work in real jobs for real wages.
Real jobs for real wages give people with intellectual disability the financial independence, social connections and choices available to other in the community. Employers who participant and engage persons with disabilities create a workforce diverse in age, culture, life experience and ability.
There are a number of reasons that make finding and keeping a job harder for some people with disabilities e.g. an injury, chronic health condition or disability, can make it difficult to get and keep a job.
