The crux of disability employment initiatives has long been focused on “getting people jobs”, while the future of disability employment must emphasize “people building careers”. Just 5% of the 485 companies that completed the 2023 Disability Equality Index indicated that they have advancement and retention programming solely focused on their employees with disabilities. This webinar will spotlight the need for a greater emphasis on talent development programming that is culturally contextualized to support professionals with disabilities while also highlighting best practices from across industry sectors.
