The disability community is one of the most overlooked talent pools in today’s labor force, causing many job seekers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to remain unemployed and costing employers the opportunity to boost workforce diversity and add value to their organization. At the same time, many employers who want to hire people with disabilities are hindered by a lack of training and capacity to provide accommodations and supports to their new hires.
Since 2015, The Arc@Work has worked with public and private sector corporations to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. Our team of disability employment consultants uses a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to support our corporate clients to recruit, hire, and retain talented job seekers with disabilities. We work with every client to tailor a disability inclusion strategy that fits their needs, providing access to hidden talent pools and offering corporate trainings to foster disability inclusion in the workplace.
At The Arc@Work, we help your organization hire smarter, add value to the workplace, and create a culture of diversity and inclusion.
The Arc@Work supports our corporate clients in creating sustainable and scalable disability inclusive hiring programs. We offer several services including disability recruitment and staffing services, corporate trainings, accessibility assessments and compliance consultations, and much more. These services are available either as standalone consultations or as part of a consulting package.
The Arc@Work partners with clients across a variety of industries to meet their disability-inclusive hiring objectives. We are not just making our clients’ workplaces more diverse and inclusive – we are also helping them achieve increases in productivity, strengthening corporate culture, and creating a competitive edge in their market.
