Tell us in a few words or sentences why Employment First matters to you! Why do you work toward people with disabilities working? # Real Work for Real Pay?

We want to be valued, respected and meaningfully employed members of our communities just like everyone else. Post-secondary education can help achieve this. This is what employment first means to me.
