Employment – Persons with Disabilities

Persons with disabilities encounter obstacles in successfully showcasing their talent and skills to employers. Often, there is a gap between persons with disabilities and employers. The reasons include but are not limited to:

  • Lack of awareness from employers about the devices/equipment that are available and easily utilized by persons with disabilities. The equipment/devices could be utilized similarly and effectively by persons with disabilities, ensuring the quality of work produced by persons with disabilities is always the same as, if not higher than, their colleagues within the organizations.
  • Persons with disabilities often do not understand how to make successful job applications or what type of support is available for them.
  • Persons with disabilities are not aware of the resources available to them within their communities.
  • Often, employment services are provided to persons with disabilities by professionals without disabilities, and thus, the employment needs of persons with disabilities are not taken into careful consideration. Persons with disabilities truly understand the needs of their fellow citizens better and deeper.
