4th quarter is here and time to evaluate what it means to do meaningful work and make a huge impact!

So you think you know Los Angeles County? Did you know Los Angeles County has 220,722 Veterans residing in L.A.? With that said – we have many Veterans in need of program services and DMC has a job opening for a Veteran Independence Program Advisor in Los Angeles County.

Are you a person who loves to serve and support our Veterans who have dutifully provided service to our country?

Do you have knowledge about the American Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act and Fair Housing Act?

Does maintaining a caseload of 45 consumers excite you?

Do you have strong core values with solid business ethics?

Are you confident with decision-making, problem-solving and are you highly organized with the ability to handle multiple priorities and deadlines?

Are you a highly skilled person who is able to assess, assist, monitor, budget, collaborate and stay focused to serve meeting several needs at once?

Are you able to travel 60% of the time, being punctual to meetings, provide direct services without being flustered by commuting and traffic?

If you're a driven person who is ready to make a difference, who can work independently making sound decisions, modeling immaculate leadership by example to proudly represent DMC to our service personnel in need - we'd love for you to apply for our open role as Veteran Independence Program Advisor in Los Angeles County.

Attn: High School Students without Disabilities

Did you know your own academic and career life can only improve with how you finesse your own knowledge through actual human connection and relating skills?

Life is more than your phone emojis - it's about REAL understanding through conversation sharing conversation, knowledge and growing how you learn about individuals who are different from yourselves.

We are all unique. How we communicate can be leveled up in new ways... are you interested in expanding your own breadth of knowledge?

Communication and connecting is a valuable social skill that will take a student far in life. You can make friends, collaborate, and when you enter college and the workforce you will be so glad to have had the training to improve upon what you know by learning disability etiquette!

Learning how to broaden one's emotional intelligence relating skills starts with growing proper disability etiquette training that can only be learned by expanding one's knowledge base.

LEARN:

* What disability, accessibility, and accommodations means
* The do's and don'ts for general disability types
* What ableism is and what we can do about it
