Who We Are And What We Do     

                          

The North Carolina Association For Persons in Supported Employment (NCAPSE) is committed to promoting employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. Supported employment enables people with substantial developmental disabilities to enter real jobs earning competitive wages with training support provided by a supported employment job coach. Through Supported employment people with substantial disabilities can enter the work force without lengthy pre-training experience in sheltered work or day programs.
