EmployAbility’s job coaches take the guesswork out of your job search

At EmployAbility, we know what it takes to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) find and keep a job in the community. And not just any job – we’re talking about careers with real pay, real responsibilities, and real rewards.

The people we support are as diverse as the industries in which we support them. In fact, we’ve helped dozens of people just like you build a career at large corporations like Gulfstream, small businesses like Leopold’s Ice Creamery, and retail giants like Kroger.

With more than 30 years of experience connecting people with IDD and local businesses, we’ve helped hundreds of people find the job of their dreams.

EmployAbility program participants are thriving in a variety of roles at over 130 businesses throughout Chatham, Bryan, and Effingham counties. They’re working in administrative, retail, hospitality, medical practices, warehousing, and logistics, among others!
