Congrats to Our Ability Aware Award Winners

UCP Oregon’s Employment Solutions department assists job-seekers who experience disabilities to find meaningful jobs in the community. Once the individual has the job, we can provide initial training and on-going supports as needed—all with the goal of ensuring the newly hired employee is as independent as possible.

At our 2018 AbilityAware Luncheon (held this October), the business community came together to hear from those who embrace supported employment and to celebrate UCP AbilityAware employers who have acknowledged that every job seeker has a unique set of skills to contribute to the workforce.

Learn more about how to be an AbilityAware here. Or contact Employment Solutions Director, Melissa Miller!
