Thank you Joel Black for sharing this. This is exactly how we feel here at EmpowerTech. Keep checking your Facebook for updates we are soon to become the only employment center in LA County. From training on technology to interview skills to finding jobs for people with both physical and developmental disabilities. We're on the rise and we can't wait to take our disabled Brothers and sisters with us. Our ultimate goal as always gainful employment

EmpowerTech Students sent letters, food, water and donations to the Ridgecrest and Torna local Red Cross to say we care about the families of those who were affected by the earthquakes.

EmpowerTech Students come together twice each month to be a part of the TRADE Disability Sensitivity Committee in which they discuss problems and concern in the workplace and community. Today students discussed safety on the 4th of July such as protecting your ears from the loud noise by using earplugs, being safe around fireworks, not looking at fireworks if the light bother your eyes. You can have fun but be safe!

This week EmpowerTech is featuring Alexander, Brandon and Alec with their supportive staff and mentors who assist them in achieving their goals of learning Microsoft Office Applications.
