An Introduction to the Concept

SCDC — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:07:02 +0000

Increased Opportunities:

Individuals with disabilities have historically had a high unemployment rate. The Chamber will make the formation and growth of Disability Businesses less of a challenge, so that persons with disabilities have increased opportunities to become self-employed.
