Employment First Movement

The Employment First Movement is an initiative aimed at ensuring people with disabilities have the same opportunities for meaningful employment as everyone else. It advocates for policies and practices that prioritize jobs in the community, rather than segregated settings like workshops. The movement emphasizes the belief that everyone, regardless of ability, has the right to work and contribute to society. By promoting inclusive hiring practices and support services, the goal is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, fostering independence and economic self-sufficiency.
