EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
The core purpose of ECVC is to help people with disabilities enjoy a higher quality of life through meaningful employment. It’s in our mission statement, and it’s rooted in everything we do. Since 1965, we’ve matched thousands with jobs that align with their skills and strengths. We provide on-site job training at no cost to the employer and provide effective follow-up for up to 90-days after placement to ensure that both the employer and employee are providing added value to each other. Our process is simple: evaluate the strengths of our candidates and place them in the roles that are best suited to those strengths. But it’s our continued one-on-one interaction with both employers and employees that has provided our continued success in job placement services for over 50 years.
Note: ECVC’s placement & training services are FREE; however, once our candidate is placed with/hired by an employer, the employer is responsible for the employee’s wages.
