Persons with disabilities want the opportunity to pursue a career of their own choosing but have an unemployment rate that is two time higher than average, not counting individuals who become discouraged and stop actively seeking work. At the same time, businesses that value a diverse work force lag behind when it comes to disability inclusion. They want better access to candidates with disabilities.
That’s why AbilityLinks, a first of its kind website for persons with disabilities, was launched in 2001.
AbilityLinks helps persons with disabilities find jobs. It is a well-established and valued part of the disability and business community, especially in the Chicago area.
AbilityLinks connects a dynamic talent pool of applicants with disabilities to a network of employers that value disability inclusion.
