National Disability Employment Awareness Month

An eLearning Solution for Disability Inclusion

Throughout the month of October, we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the contributions of workers with disabilities. Since 1988, this educational campaign has been the basis for great progress, but there’s still work to do. While employers are taking notice of the benefits of hiring people with disabilities, their unemployment rate is still more than double the rate of those without a disability. [ 1 ]

Companies dedicated to bringing greater diversity to their workplace can start by creating a culture where employees with disabilities feel welcomed and valued, and the iDisability™ educational platform delivers just that. We currently offer an extensive catalog of vignettes specifically designed to address topics critical to disability inclusion in the workplace.

From “Best Practices in the Employment of People with Disabilities,” which deals with matters related to protection from discrimination, to “Outreach and Recruitment Partnerships: Building a Pipeline of Talent,” which reinforces the importance of having a sustainable disability employment program, every iDisability™ e-learning vignette is meant to educate employers and employees, and ease concerns related to best disability employment practices.

Nearly 1 million business users across a variety of industries have already benefited from iDisability™. Complete the contact form to schedule a demonstration today.
