Something you want everyone to know about the work you do:

I work with people with a variety of disabilities providing vocational training and finding employment of interest for that individual. Most of our participants have a strong skill, but it is limited and so we have find a customized position. When a participant finds a job, we support them to keep that job by assisting with the training or anything that they need to be successful on the job. Our goal is to have our participants as independent as possible, but this looks different for everyone. CEP staff is the support for both the employer and the participant.

Whenever someone needs _____ they should contact you.

Has questions about job opportunities, contacts, or questions about how we support people with disabilities, please contact me.

Connect with Sue Anne by emailing her at slemkin@shoreline.edu or saying hello on Teams!
