Job Placement

COVID-19 Program Policy:
Job Placement clients will be briefly screened at check-in for appointments. Masking of staff and clients when working together will be left to the client’s discretion. Job Placement is adhering to COVID-19 protocols based on rates published by the CDC.

There is more to disability employment than just the social rate of return: it’s about giving people the opportunity to prove themselves and to gain independence.

The CPRF Job Placement Department guides people with all types of disabilities (and others with vocational barriers) to the right position –offering job readiness, work experiences, placement, retention services, and more.
