Community Supported Employment
Jobs in Our Community
Your abilities and interests make you unique. We help find the best place to put them to use.
Everyone wants a chance to succeed at a job that’s suited to their interests and abilities. In partnership with the NC Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (EIPD), the TVS Employment Specialists help match people with disabilities or other barriers to employers who value the benefits an inclusive work force brings to everyone.
Employment doesn’t just give someone a job; it gives them a chance to change their life while building stronger relationships, experiences, and communities. We’ve seen amazing transformations come from connecting community businesses with well-matched individuals to jobs where they will thrive.
