The Arc of North Carolina

 

The Arc sees every person with a disability as a potential employee. In fact, Supported Employment, as defined at the federal level, is designed as a service reserved for people with the most severe disabilities.  We believe everyone can work and it is up to us to make the right job match that will promote employment success for each person. Our Employment Services have supported hundreds of individuals with significant disabilities in becoming successfully employed, productive members of our communities.
