Tim Shelley / WCBU Finding a job as the pandemic wears on is proving difficult for many. Individuals with disabilities can face even larger hurdles. One Peoria-based organization is finding success despite the pandemic. EP!C prides itself on empowering people and inspiring capabilities. Job placement assistance is one of the north Peoria nonprofit’s services. Kaitlin McVey is EP!C’s Director of Community Placement. She works to match area employers with individuals with disabilities. McVey says COVID hasn’t slowed EP!C’s goals. “Since March we’ve placed 34 people out in jobs, which is great. We try to place an average of 3-5 people per month. So, we have been doing a really good job since COVID,” said McVey.
