Easter Seals Disability Services

Finding a Job and Contributing in Your Community

Employment provides the opportunity to participate as a member of a community. Easter Seals Southern Nevada job training and employment services help people with disabilities learn skills to successfully enter the workforce, or to return to work after an illness or injury. Not only do employees benefit from the satisfaction of having a job, but businesses also gain from their contributions.

Easter Seals Southern Nevada provides Employment Training for people with disabilities

The unemployment rate among people with disabilities remains at an alarmingly high level. At Easter Seals Southern Nevada, we are proud to be making a significant contribution to improving the work climate for Nevadans with disabilities by offering a broad range of opportunities to learn valuable work skills and earn real wages.
