IMPACTability Supports the Campaign for Disability Employment
IMPACTability is proud to support the Campaign for Disability Employment (CDE), a national public education movement that promotes the hiring, retention, and advancement of people with disabilities in America’s workforce. Its products and positive messages encourage businesses and others to recognize the value that individuals with disabilities bring to the workplace, as well as the dividend to be realized by fully including them at work.
To show our support, IMPACTability is promoting WhatCanYouDoCampaign.org, which features grassroots tools and ideas, as well as video Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that challenge assumptions about people with disabilities and employment. IMPACTability is demonstrating our commitment in two ways. First, we are showcasing CDE guidance on our website’s Disability Advocacy page. Materials include an informative Fact Sheet, Discussion Guides, helpful resources for job seekers, employees, and employers, plus a free poster for Mentors. The powerful PSA “Because,” promotes the message that youth with disabilities should grow up expecting to work and succeed. The “I Can” PSA features real people with disabilities expressing what they “can do” on the job when given the opportunity. “Who I Am”
reminds us to see one another for who we are and what we can contribute. The CDE’s latest PSA, “Mental Health at Work: What Can I Do?,” addresses the timely topic of workplace mental health and the roles we all can play in promoting workplace wellness. Second, IMPACTability will highlight campaign resources during CareerReady!, our intergenerational career readiness and mentoring certificate program for college students with disabilities enrolled at the City University of New York (CUNY).
