Your disability should never stand in the way of finding a job you love. We believe everybody has a right to work, and we will do whatever it takes to help you achieve your employment goals.
When you come to EPIC, we spend time getting to know you, your interests and your strengths. We help you discover what job you would like, and explain what you need to do to get there.
EPIC supports people with disability who are ready and willing to work. We will help you build work skills and life skills you need for a job. EPIC’s relationship with our job seekers is based on respect and equality: we will work hard to find the right job for you, while you will work hard to get ready for a job.
