How We Make a Difference
How You Can Help
CIE Information
Avenues SLS is partnering with the City of Santa Clarita Community Services and Arts Grants Program to promote CIE (Competitive Integrated Employment) awareness & outreach. Our hope is by doing this, businesses will be able to fill job openings with qualified workers with disabilities, and that youth & adults with disabilities will be able to gain and maintain meaningful employment. We want to provide individuals with disabilities and their families the information and resources they need to navigate competitive, integrated employment opportunities in their communities with the support they need from Department of Education, Department of Rehabilitation and Regional Center funded services.
