PEP Job Program

PEP Jobs Program One of the most commonly asked questions by persons with epilepsy is "Where can I go for help finding a job?" Because many epilepsy patients have not had the opportunity to establish a career path, the California Pacific's Epilepsy Program in cooperation with the Department of Rehabilitation, has established an employment program called the California PEP Job Services, or PEP Jobs. The program is sponsored by California Pacific Medical Center, in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, and the epilepsy programs at the UCSF Medical Center and Stanford Medical Center.

PEP jobs employs an employment coordinator and an employment specialist working collaboratively to help patients find and maintain employment. Because the staff understands how epilepsy can affect program participants, and are familiar with the employment world, they can help patients find jobs that are the right fit for both the participant and the employer.
