Overcoming Barriers to Employment

Today we’re sharing a story of tenacity and success!
Join us in this video to learn about Jasmine Long, her career journey, and the barriers to employment she overcame.
Jasmine, who graduated with a degree in Psychology from Sacramento State University, talks with us about the challenges she has met as a person with disabilities, and how she found support along the job seeking path.
When it comes to finding a job, transportation for people with disabilities can be one of the biggest challenges, and this was one of the hurdles Jasmine was facing.
Jasmine tells her personal story of how, despite her best efforts and willingness to consider any position, finding an employer who understood the barriers to employment was difficult.
In this interview we hear all about how Jasmine has now found a job and a career path that not only uses her skills and expertise but a job that allows her to do what she has always wanted to: help other people like herself.
