Disability Employment Agencies Connect Abilities with Opportunities 

Finding a job can be tough. If you’re a person with a disability or the parent of a teen with a disability, it can feel even more challenging. That’s where disability employment services like employU come in. Based in Florida, we help people build confidence, gain job experience, and take meaningful steps toward long-term employment. 

As a nonprofit employment service, we support individuals with disabilities who want to explore careers, develop workplace skills, and find the right job fit. Whether you’re a teenager just starting to explore career options or an adult looking to start, restart, or shift your career path, we’re here to help every step of the way. 

What we offer goes far beyond job placement. Our goal is to prepare clients for real success in the workplace by offering the tools, support, and hands-on experiences they need to thrive. That includes on-the-job training, where clients learn valuable skills while gaining real-world experience in a workplace setting. For teens, our career camps provide a fun, interactive way to explore different industries, build job skills, and connect with professionals. These experiences help them learn what kind of work they enjoy and what fits their strengths. 

We also offer vocational and psychological evaluations, which allow for a better understanding of an individual’s strengths, challenges, and goals. This helps us create a plan tailored to each person’s needs. Through work-based learning experiences, clients can try out different jobs, build their résumés, and gain the confidence that comes with hands-on practice. And when it’s time to apply, our job placement services connect clients with employers who value inclusion and recognize the potential of every person we serve. 

Many teens come to us to gain work experience, discover career opportunities or to start preparing for life after high school. Parents tell us they feel comforted knowing their children are gaining independence, developing practical skills, and participating in safe, supportive environments. Adults benefit too. Whether they’re new to the workforce or returning after time away, we help build personalized plans and connect them with opportunities that align with their goals. 

Throughout it all, we act as advocates, supporting our clients through the job search, application, and transition process, and making sure their needs and voices are understood by employers. 

For many people with disabilities, the biggest barrier isn’t ability, it’s opportunity. At employU, we work to bridge that gap. By providing training, support, and real-world experience, we help open doors and empower each person to take charge of their future.
