For Employers
Looking for dedicated employees? We’re here to help.
Employers are facing a hiring, retention, and labor shortage crisis, and there are hundreds of thousands of open positions in manufacturing and hospitality (many only requiring a high school education).
The answer? Only 21% of people with disabilities are employed, and that means there are hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites who are ready, willing, and able to work. They just need employers to believe in them and give them the training and opportunity to succeed. There are accommodations to make hiring people with disabilities successful for your organization, and we can help you navigate this transformation.
