ADAPTABLE SKILLS AND FLEXIBLE CAREERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
While each person’s interests and needs may be different, people in the disability community commonly have skills that are adaptable to just about any job.
“Many
people with disabilities are great at planning, organizing, and problem-solving
because they live in a world not designed for them,” says Lori Becker, CEO of
the Starkloff Disability Institute.
“Employers
are looking for more diverse talent.
They want
to hire a workforce that reflects the community.”
Presenting
oneself to employers as a person with a disability who is confident in their
skill set and has the certification to back it up can be a pathway to a career,
not just a paycheck.
