Employment and Training

From workforce development to community access programs, we provide resources and support for our clients to succeed in the workplace and beyond.

Overview

The Easterseals Washington Workforce Development Program sees a decent job for a person with a disability as the cornerstone of self-reliance and independence.  We give support to people with disabilities, such as job coaching and transportation, so that their skills, not their disabilities, are the emphasis of their employability. We work with employers and employees to transcend workplace barriers and give people with disabilities the tools to maintain employment and advance their careers.
