Vocational Rehabilitation Internships

Research shows that building a disability-inclusive workforce can increase innovation and productivity, while reducing safety incidents and staff turnover rates. The benefits of disability-inclusive hiring practices go beyond the bottom line. People with disabilities must be resourceful to adapt to the world around them. Strengths such as problem-solving, persistence and a willingness to experiment are a part of their basic skill set.

Our interns are creative, enthusiastic and ready to gain experience on the job. For information on how to partner with EIPD to host interns at no cost to your business, contact kristy.brinson@dhhs.nc.gov
