Employ Network Mission Statement

Working Together to Help People Secure Gainful and Stable Employment

The EMPLOY Network is a diverse group of employment professionals representing agencies who assist individuals at risk for unemployment and underemployment; this includes people with disabilities, the homeless, senior citizens, immigrants, and ex-offenders. It is the mission of the Network to engage in collaborative efforts to secure gainful employment for these individuals, by fostering an exchange of information regarding employment opportunities, resources, techniques, and legislation. To this end the EMPLOY Network will serve as a support group to its members, educate the general public regarding the employment of individuals with special needs, and advocate as a group for legislation and funding which will make employment a reality for these individuals.
