How do Disability Employment Professionals (DEPs) support persons with disabilities? DEPs bridge the gap between persons with disabilities and employers – providing career guidance to persons with disabilities, assisting them in workplace integration, and connecting inclusive employers with the resources they need. As the ecosystem builder for disability-inclusive employment, we build up the capabilities of DEPs by supporting them with training and resources. These include: • Our newly updated DEP Training Roadmap that is specifically developed for DEPs to find recommended courses that will strengthen and deepen their competencies • Toolkits such as our Starter Kit for Disability Employment and Job Redesign Guide for Inclusive Employers are also helpful in kickstarting disability-inclusive hiring for employers • Courses on fair and merit-based workplaces with support from the TAFEP Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices, where participants shared that the case studies cited were helpful in clarifying workflows Learn more about our training support for DEPs here: https://lnkd.in/dAHZKvv2 #InclusiveSociety #EnabledLives #InclusiveHiring #Upskilling

Barriers to employment are often more than just challenges for an individual job seeker. Transportation is a common, persistent barrier for folks impacting everything from work opportunities to standards of living.

In recent months, transportation improvements and road safety initiatives have become more prominent in local news headlines. Projects to improve pedestrian experiences and transit lines across Denver are underway, yet many articles leave out the experiences of people with disabilities who rely on public transit. Valuable perspectives from job seekers, employees, and employers featured in "Enhancing Employment Access for People with Disabilities through Transportation" highlight the need for systemic and cultural changes to address transportation as a barrier. #openaccess #accessibility #representation #transforms
