Supported Employment is the Right Choice

Hiring persons with disabilities offers distinct advantages:

  • Only qualified individuals are referred, saving recruitment and training cost
  • Job turnover is decreased due to higher employee satisfaction and motivation
  • Targeted job tax credits are available to employers in many cases
  • Employees with disabilities work as hard or harder than able bodied employees and are as reliable and punctual. Their physical, mental or developmental disabilities are no obstacle to their effectiveness as productive, dedicated employees. Employers across the country recognize that hiring people with disabilities has a positive impact on their own bottom line. People with disabilities perform a wide variety of jobs successfully and profitably while earning a fair wage.
