Ready to Work

Looking for employment can sometimes be challenging, and a full time job in itself! Finding ways to connect with other people in similar situations is often helpful. Sometimes it can provide avenues to links for employment, training or social networking.

Career exploration and the analysis of your skills is a great way to begin discovering the best path for you. There are several ways to further your skills once assessed, including working your way up within an organization or industry, pursuing training through a certificate program, a community college or a four year institution.

Our first step is to go to the Resources page and begin familiarizing yourself with the services available to you. For instance, the O*Net link is an online tool for career exploration. The Vocational Rehabilitation link will take you to an overview of services that will help you make informed choices and build a viable career. Services offered include assessment, training and placement information. There is even a social networking community and job portal for people with disabilities. Get informed, and be on your way to successful employment!

The MCST project showcases the fact that individuals with disabilities are valuable, viable and contributing members of society. It breaks down stereotypes and promotes the attitude of greater opportunities  for both employers and employees.“I hope that my participation in  this project will emphasize to the community that individuals with disabilities are living their life,  day to day, just like everyone  else. There just might be aspects  of it that are carried out with a slightly different flair.”
