We have produced various informational materials that we believe will be helpful to you. But, what you do with this information will be entirely up to you. We look to you to expand state and local business groups to steer your efforts. BLN steering groups can focus on disability employment issues specific to your state, or a local area in your state. They can identify statewide employment needs and hiring trends.
Individual employers can provide guidance to disability service providers in their communities.
They can take state and local action that will result in more job opportunities for people with disabilities to succeed in the workplace. And, imagine what it would mean if you made these policies a permanent part of your overall diversity efforts. Just imagine what might happen if you allocate a certain number of internships in your company for high school and college students with disabilities. Just imagine what might happen if, when your company recruiters go to college campuses, they visit the disabled student services office to seek potential applicants to interview. Just imagine what might happen if, when your company seeks new employees, your human resources office automatically calls vocational rehabilitation and other programs that place workers with disabilities.
