Membership:  SDCEPD is in need of committee members from the private sector (employers) to join our committee.  We have an excellent representation from various agencies that provide services to people with disabilities, but we only have a few from the private sector.  This is a great opportunity for Human Resources professionals to increase your knowledge of the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and to contribute toward increasing employment opportunities through volunteerism and supporting our events throughout the year.  We also invite other organizations that provide employment services to people with disabilities to join our committee.   Your ideas and support is greatly needed and appreciated.  We invite you to attend a meeting which are held monthly on the second Thursday from 10:00 to 11:30 am at the Department of Rehabilitation, 7575 Metropolitan Dr., Room 107, San Diego, CA 92108.  Please call Caren at (619) 767-2136 to confirm we are meeting this month if you'd like to attend.

 
 

 

Welcome to the website of the San Diego Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.

The SDCEPD works to promote employment opportunities for persons with disabilities through community action, providing free training to businesses and collaboration with public and private organizations. 

Our website lists training opportunities and valuable resource information for both employers and people with disabilities.  We believe in making this website user-friendly and comprehensive for our visitors.  If there is specific information you are looking for that is either not listed on this website or you are unable to find elsewhere, please contact us at sdcepd@gmail.com.

We accomplish our mission through:

  • 'Jobtoberfest', An Annual Job Fair for People with Disabilities, held in October during National Disability Employment Awareness Month. 
  • Hosting a community event the first quarter of each year on Tax and Financial Awareness for Individuals with Disabilities.
  • Co-Sponsor of Reflections, an annual exhibition of fine art by Artists with disabilities.
  • Sponsorship of other organizations and events that increase awareness for and in support of creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
  • Serve as a resource for upcoming Job Fairs and location of job training for people with disabilities.
  • Serve as a resource for employers who desire Disability Awareness Training or information on assistive technology or other methods to provide reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities.
  • Collaborating with other public and private agencies that provide employment services for people with disabilities.
  • Membership on other Organization Committees such the San Diego Disability Action Coalition and the San Diego Disabled Forum.
