October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM). A large number of individuals with disabilities who are qualified, willing, and able to work still face significant barriers to employment. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 36% of the people ages 16 to 64 who have a disability are in the workforce, compared to 75% of Americans in the same age group without a disability.   As a U.S. Department of Labor Cyber and Tech Industry Intermediary and Registered #Apprenticehship program sponsor (https://lnkd.in/ePHp3HX), Safal helps employer partners understand how to create accessible work environments that increase their ability to expand their hiring pool by bringing on people with disabilities. For example, our partner, NPower’s social support managers' connect participants with vital resources, such as GoodTemps and Goodwill Industries International, which provide vocational rehabilitation services and practical supports for individuals with disabilities. We also connect partners to their local #workforce development boards and vocational rehabilitation agencies to access funding, supportive services, and help recruiting individuals with disabilities.   We’re proud to champion our employer partners who are expanding registered apprenticeship opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
