Easterseals New Jersey is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities and those who care for them by providing opportunities to live, learn, work, and play in their communities.

The term “Work” is right there in our mission, recognizing how important it is for people of all ability levels to secure gainful employment.

Employment opportunities are often limited due to the stigma many individuals apply to people with disabilities, assuming they either cannot work or are limited to do only certain jobs.

In our Employment Services Programs, we help break down those barriers by training our program participants to be competitive in the job market. We also work with potential employers to help break preconceptions and support their process of hiring hard-working employees with disabilities. 

With 1 in 4 Americans identifying as having a disability, it’s too large an employment pool for employers to ignore, but often, they aren’t sure how to get started.

Easterseals New Jersey’s job coaches and managers are here to help with that transition, so both the employer and employee have the greatest chances for success in their new venture.

If you’d like to learn more about how you can hire professionals with disabilities, visit eastersealsnj.org or call us at 855.215.4541.

“Being a member of the Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce has opened the doors to establishing partnerships with employers and educating company’s about Easterseals New Jersey," said Danielle Androvich, Manager of Supported Employment.

A special watch party event recently brought together community members, business leaders, and history enthusiasts for an evening of discovery and entertainment. Held on March 12 at State Theatre New Jersey, attendees were treated to an exclusive screening of the PBS Special "Travels with Darley: Revolutionary Road Trip New Jersey," featuring Middlesex and Somerset Counties.

The event featured a vibrant reception, complete with Revolutionary War reenactors, light refreshments, and drinks. Notably, host Darley Newman was in attendance, offering attendees the unique opportunity to engage with her and ask questions about the production.

"Travels with Darley," an Emmy Award-nominated series, takes viewers on a journey of exploration, highlighting heritage tourism, history, culture, and food across various destinations. In this episode, Newman and her team explored Middlesex County, discovering its unknown tales of the American Revolution and highlighting secret travel spots.

Featuring Mayor Brad Cohen of East Brunswick, Mayor Francis Womack of North Brunswick, and Mayor Peter Guindi of South River, this session provided a unique opportunity for members, residents, and the business community to connect directly with their elected officials.

Held at the East Brunswick Community Arts Center, the event drew attendees from across Middlesex County eager to connect with their mayors and discuss topics ranging from economic development to community initiatives.

The Middlesex County Chamber held its highly anticipated 2024 Emerging Leaders Summit on AI at the Heldrich Hotel & Conference Center on April 18.

Attendees participated in dynamic sessions, such as "Shaping The Business Landscape with Microsoft Co-Pilot" and "AI: Taking Effective Action," each offering pragmatic insights into leveraging AI technologies effectively. Through discussions and networking opportunities, attendees gained valuable strategies for navigating the ever-evolving AI landscape and driving innovation within their organizations.
