The Epilepsy Institute provides New York City's only specialized
job development and vocational services program for people with epilepsy.
The Institute's eight person vocational staff has an outstanding record
of locating available jobs and helping people with epilepsy enter and
remain in the work force. Our individually tailored program admits a wide
range of individuals, including persons with varied or even no past work
experience.
The Institute works with people in the following ways:
- we help them identify
their interests and abilities
- we help them develop
and improve work related skills
- we help them develop
their resume and any other necessary documents
- we help them search
for appropriate opportunities
- we help prepare them to present themselves effectively to potential employers
A special state-funded division of the Institute called Employment Solutions specializes in persons with limited or no work experience. In addition to the assistance already described, Employment Solutions emphasizes job development, and once placed, provides ongoing vocational support, including at the job location where appropriate, to ensure that jobs are kept.
Please call The Vocational Services Division of The Epilepsy Institute at 212-677-8550 to find out more information or to schedule an appointment.
