SEP United will help job seekers served by the regional centers earn paid work experience via the Paid Internship Program. PIP exists to help people with disabilities (18 years and older) improve their job skills. The goal of the paid internship is that by the end of the program, the participant will be ready to pursue long-term employment. 

​

During the internship, you (the intern) will work toward the goals set by you and your service coordinator. You will be doing a specific job that involves the same community or worksite activities as someone without a disability. You will earn at least minimum wage and make the same amount of money that other employees make doing the same job. Each internship has a maximum of 1,040 hours of paid work experience.
