Let’s Work Together
Without Opportunity Center and partnerships from agencies and local businesses, it’s difficult for people with disabilities to prepare and find jobs that are a win-win for them and their employers. This is discouraging and causes people to lose hope.
Together, with your partnership, we empower people with disabilities to discover their capabilities and do meaningful work across many fields and duties.
As a consumer or referring agency, you can partner with Opportunity Center to access the job training, opportunity, and support needed for people with disabilities to live empowered lives.
