Post Subject: National Disability Employment Awareness Month Read Article
Thank you for bringing awareness and education to this issue! Very well written article!
People with disabilities are a dependable and valuable workforce who have higher rates of employee retention, which reduces hiring and training costs. Employers can leverage tax benefits from hiring people with disabilities and attract a broader customer base for their goods and services. At the same time, employers can demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility by hiring people with disabilities, which include youth, older workers and military veterans.
The 165 independent Goodwill agencies in the U.S. and Canada provide job training, career and community based services to people with disabilities, those who need education or work experience and others facing challenges to finding employment. Since it's founding in 1902, Goodwill has helped people with barriers to employment earn jobs, grow their careers and live independent lives.
We offer more information about how people with barriers to employment can get assistance at www.goodwilleasttexas.com
Thanks again for helping to get the word out!
