California Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (CCEPD)

About the CCEPD

The California Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (CCEPD) advances employment for people with disabilities by making policy recommendations to the Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency.

The CCEPD meets quarterly and develops its policy recommendations through the subcommittees. For 2026 and 2027, the CCEPD developed goals and strategies to inform its work.

The CCEPD also supports an annual event for youth with disabilities. For more information about the YLF, please visit the DOR YLF website or contact us with any questions.

In the past couple of years, the CCEPD developed a Workforce Best Practices for People with Disabilities Toolkit (PDF) that will benefit any workforce partner. In 2024, the CCEPD submitted a Benefits Planning Report, Policy Recommendations and Fact Sheet to the Agency Secretaries. The benefits planning report reviews how benefits (cash, health insurance, long-term services and supports, etc.) are a major factor for people with disabilities when making employment. This report took a deep dive on how income and asset eligibility impact lifelong career choices for people with disabilities.
