Employment Support for Job Seekers with Disabilities

If Federal funding is reduced or eliminated, people using JCFS Chicago’s Contracted Employment Services (CES) will face significant challenges finding work. CES assists adults with disabilities and other barriers to employment obtain and maintain jobs in janitorial or administrative support services, often in government buildings.  

Larry, who has worked for 28 years as a duplicating machine operator at a government building in the Loop, would probably have difficulty getting a job without JCFS Chicago’s Contracted Employment Services.

The CES program has helped Larry see himself as someone who contributes to the success of the organizations he’s worked for and gives him a sense of pride and independence.

Larry said that he appreciated the support and trust in him, which allowed him to continue growing.
