NC APSE Supports Employment First
Employment in the general workforce is the first and preferred outcome in the provision of publicly funded services for all working age citizens with disabilities, regardless of level of disability.
Employment First principles must be based on clear public policies and practices that ensure employment of citizens with disabilities within the general workforce is the priority for public funding and service delivery.
The NC APSE Mission:
Equal Employment for All Through Advocacy, Education and Support.
