JDI- An Introduction
Individuals with disabilities today often lack the availability of residential and employment opportunities that can provide the appropriate level of support based on their individualized needs.
At the same time, employers with entry-level positions face a high turnover and the lack of resources to provide the desired level of entry-level supervision.
With all of these problems, Job Discovery Inc. was born. Job Discovery Inc. (JDI) is a non-profit, tax exempt, human services organization that was created to provide quality and reliable services to adults with developmental disabilities throughout Virginia. It serves to maximize an individuals abilities and potential through community based residential and vocational opportunities.
This organization accommodates all individuals with disabilities, regardless of severity- under the County, State, and Federal guidelines.
