Then it's time to check out Project ABLE, a national resume bank which provides an easily accessible pool of job applicants ready to go to work. And the listing is available to employers at no cost. Project ABLE is a data base of people receiving Social Security disability benefits who have prepared themselves for work. It had been available only to federal agencies looking for employees, but it's now open to businesses and organizations in the private sector as well. Each job candidate has been evaluated by state certified vocational rehabilitation counselors or Veterans Administration counselors.
Potential employees are job-ready and have the basic qualifications for their chosen careers.
If you have a job vacancy in your organization and think Project ABLE can help, forward your position description or job vacancy announcement to the Project ABLE staff at the Office of Personnel Management.
