In this position, Julie will oversee Employment Services programs for people with disabilities, including Liberty ARC’s Career and Employment Network (CEN), Community Pre-Voc, Pathway to Employment, and day hab programs, Community Connections and Life Skills.

It is satisfying to see people obtain and retain competitive and meaningful employment opportunities throughout the community.”
“I am excited that Julie will be joining us in this new role to lead our Employment Services team and the organization in a positive direction,” said Erin Abele, Director of Employment Services and Industrial Operations at Liberty ARC. “Julie has demonstrated tremendous interest and ambition in her professional growth.
