Gaining Independence: Tips for Stepping into the Workforce

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which celebrates the success stories of employment and the disability community. We are excited to share our most recent podcast, featuring SARAH Inc.’s Jen Kostek, Intakes and Special Projects Coordinator. With over a decade of experience in our employment programs, Jen is just the right person to help us understand the immense value that people with differing abilities bring to businesses that employ them. In this episode, Gaining Independence: Tips for Stepping into the Workforce, she also gives a detailed look into how SARAH Inc. helps individuals identify their scope of capabilities, establish a career plan, and lead them toward gaining newfound independence.
