Free Online Resource Bridges Gap Between Employers, Workers with Disabilities

Filed under: News |

A new website provides free training resources to help connect employment service professionals and employers with job seekers who have disabilities.

Employment service professionals are the bridge spanning the employment gap that people with disabilities often face, said Jeffrey Tamburo, faculty extension associate at Cornell University’s Institute on Employment and Disability, which offers the new Diversity Partners Project.

In his role, he provides training and content development for the Northeast ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Center. The center is part of the university’s institute.

However, “The bridge may need repair. The bridge may need strengthening. The bridge may need support,” he said during a March 29 webcast.

Diversity Partners was designed to provide that support.It was created for employment specialists, job developers, workforce development staff and others who help people with disabilities find jobs. However, HR professionals can also use it.”
