Employment

The first step to freedom is simply being able to provide for yourself. Easterseals Central Alabama works with job-ready individuals to place them into jobs in the community. Our full-time job development specialists help individuals find employment and assist employers in meeting manpower needs. Whether it is someone looking for a first-time job or re-entering the workforce, or it is an entry-level or professional position, care is taken to develop a good match between the new employee and employer. The employment of people living with a disability is simply good business. For every dollar spent on assisting an individual with re-entry into the workforce, $20.69 is returned to the economy through their employment.

“Without the support, interaction and encouragement of the job placement specialist, I wouldn’t have had the motivation necessary to have a successful job search.” Mary
