DDI VANTAGE is a qualified non-profit organization under 501(c)(3). Its adult
services program is designed to help adults with disabilities find, learn, and
maintain jobs in the community, and to promote the enhancement of an
individual's personal esteem through success on the job and independence in
employment.
DDI VANTAGE's trained staff helps the individual develop not only on-the-job
skills but abilities in related areas, such as transportation, personal
organization, health care, and the security of ongoing employment.
The on-site supervision and training provided by DDI VANTAGE ensures that the
worker's job is completed to the employer's satisfaction during the period of
on-the-job training, and reduces the amount of time that the employer might
otherwise have to spend to train the employee.
DDI VANTAGE is an equal opportunity employer and
does not discriminate against its employees not its clients on the basis of
race, religion, gender, age, national origin, political affiliation, or
disability.
DDI VANTAGE Supported Employment Program is funded primarily through the
Division of Services for People with Disabilities and the Utah State Office of
Vocational Rehabilitation.
If you are eligible to receive services from the Division of Services for
People with Disabilities (DSPD) or the Utah State Office of Vocational
