The Benefits of Hiring People with Disabilities

Hiring individuals with disabilities isn’t just about inclusion—it’s about strengthening the workforce and supporting the community. Employees with disabilities bring valuable skills, dedication, and fresh perspectives that enhance workplace culture and productivity. Additionally, hiring individuals with disabilities can be a cost-effective solution for businesses. Many do not require extra benefits or accommodations beyond what is already in place for other employees. Employers may also qualify for tax credits and hiring incentives, reducing overall costs.

By creating inclusive workplaces, businesses contribute to a stronger, more diverse community while benefiting from dedicated employees. At Community Trades and Careers, we help employers connect with qualified candidates, provide guidance on workplace accommodations, and offer ongoing support to ensure long-term success for both employers and employees.

How DVR Can Help Cover Costs 

The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) provides funding and resources to help individuals with disabilities find and maintain employment. If you qualify for DVR services, many job-related costs—such as training, career counseling, and workplace accommodations—can be covered at no cost to you. This financial support removes barriers to employment and helps individuals focus on building successful careers.

At Community Trades and Careers, we guide job seekers through the DVR application process, ensuring they receive the necessary funding and resources. Let us help you take the next step toward meaningful employment with the financial support available through DVR.

By working together, we can create a more inclusive workforce that benefits individuals, businesses, and the community as a whole.
