BLN members learn about recruitment resources, workplace accommodations and much more. This presentation addresses the benefits of hiring people with disabilities first hand, as well as discusses the advantages of being a member of this unique leadership group.

The Workforce of the Future: Opportunities for Youth with Disabilities

During the next several years, our nation will face a dramatic decrease in the number of individuals who are of working age. This unprecedented departure due to the retiring baby boomers will leave our workforce with a shortage of over 10 million+ workers by the year 2006! In order for your business to continue to succeed and our economy to flourish, we need to begin recruiting workers from untapped labor pools and begin career development earlier than ever before to help cultivate our future workers. This presentation addresses youth programs that help prepare youth with disabilities for the workforce and how you can access them.
