Pathway to Work

Pathway to Work Program

From Public Benefits to Meaningful Employment — With Full Support

We help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) confidently move from public benefits to sustainable employment, without losing the supports they depend on. Employment is more than finding a job; it requires benefits protection, skill development, and long-term guidance.

Why This Program Matters

Many individuals with I/DD want to work but face significant barriers that make the transition difficult. Pathway to Work removes these barriers through coordinated, structured support.

  • Fear of losing SSI, SSDI, or Medicaid
  • Limited understanding of work incentives
  • Lack of digital skills for today’s job market
  • Transportation instability

We do not simply help individuals find jobs. We help them secure their benefits, build confidence, develop skills, and sustain meaningful employment.
