Promoting Employment of People w/ Disabilities

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) & the U.S. Business Leadership Network (USBLN)--a national organization recognizing & promoting best practices in hiring, retaining, & marketing to people with disabilities--have partnered to promote the employment of people with disabilities. The partnership will enable USBLN & ODEP to achieve their goals of ensuring "everyone ready, willing & able to work has the opportunity to do so" & of helping employers to hire, recruit & retain workers with disabilities by providing guidance, information & access to resources. ODEP's alliance initiative is available to businesses, trade & professional associations, labor unions, educational institutions, government agencies, & others.
