This is often due to numerous barriers such as - lack of accessibility, - misconceptions about their capabilities, - limited opportunities - and discrimination. It's time to change this narrative! Employers, you can make a difference by posting your job openings on AbilityLinks.

Celebrating Disability Pride Month! Every July, we honor the history and achievements of the disability community. This month marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed on July 26, 1990, a crucial law for inclusion. Did you know that 85% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed, even though they have valuable skills to offer? Research shows fostering disability inclusion within the workforce not only promotes diversity and equality but also leads to numerous business benefits, making it a strategic and wise business decision. Together we can make a difference. Sign up for AbilityLinks, an online job board dedicated to helping people with disabilities and Veterans find meaningful employment. https://buff.ly/3zPmzCk #DisabilityPrideMonth #ADA #Inclusion #AbilityLinks #EqualOpportunity
