AEG partners with many organizations and districts. Learn more about them here. DISTRICT PARTNERS PLACE INDIVIDUALS ON THE PATH TO SUCCESS Refer Clients to AEG The startling and sad truth about individuals with unique abilities is that when they reach the age of 22, they are not typically prepared for the pitfalls they will face. Society’s lack of resources to accommodate for them is horrible and these young men and women are often left on their own with no clear path in front of them. We work with organizations like the DOR, California Regional Center, and various school districts to place these clients into jobs and prepare them to be successful in the workforce. If your organization has clients that could benefit from our services, we'd love to chat! We're Here to Help. To prepare these individuals for the next chapter in their lives, AEG is committed and ready to conduct Pre-Employment Training and Employment Services. We are a family of passionate members who have experienced first-hand what an impact employment can have on someone with unique abilities. Imagine going from someone with no confidence to a proud human-being that believes in themselves and their abilities to achieve whatever it is they want; someone who is financially free and friends with those at work; someone who not only makes a difference at work, but in the community. That's our goal, and we'd love your help to make it happen. Let's Chat. Interested in partnering with AEG? Contact us to get connected with a team member to learn more. Contact
