The Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies’ Center for Innovation and Research (NJHSA) developed a guide to address the tremendous barriers persons with disabilities face when seeking employment. NJHSA developed a proposal to survey member agencies and other community-based organizations to identify the elements and/or design of different disability employment program models that could lend themselves to be considered as “Best Practices.”

 

The Network partnered with the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce (CSW) and with RespectAbility to develop and administer the project, which was funded by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and resulting dialogue in the Jobs workgroup of the National Affinity Group on Jewish Poverty.

 

“Community-based organizations are often at the forefront of efforts to develop and implement highly effective program models that not only support employment goals for persons with disabilities but do so in a manner that supports employment retention and advancement,” explained the Network’s President & CEO Reuben D. Rotman.
