The Details
Community-based employment is a goal for many people with disabilities. Our Community Job Link program assists people in finding community employment that interests them, is enjoyable, and that they can be successful. Unfortunately, statistics indicate our local businesses have not taken advantage of this larger talent pool.
The Arc of Evansville is building a culture of acceptance and awareness in our community. Just as our services enrich the lives of those served by enabling them to live, work, and volunteer in our community, the Community Job Link program also enriches the community as individuals with disabilities share their skills, stories, and potential with their colleagues, friends, and neighbors.
The Community Job Link program follows best practices in the field of service delivery for people with disabilities. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), whose purpose is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services.
The Basics
Services are provided in the place of employment of the individual served. Service hours are not limited to weekdays or daytime hours. Services are provided for individuals of working age.
