'Excellence' Program Supports Employment for People With Disabilities


Overview

Despite their potential, people with disabilities face a staggering unemployment rate of 70%, making them an untapped resource in the workforce.

Key Program

NISH, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving employment opportunities for people with disabilities, is striving to alter this landscape. Through the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program, NISH helps secure federal contracts for agencies employing individuals with disabilities. A new initiative, "Centers of Excellence," aims to mentor other agencies, enhancing the quality of services and products offered to the federal government.

About the JWOD Program

The JWOD Program is a leading provider of employment for individuals with disabilities in the U.S., offering jobs to over 45,000 people who are blind or have severe disabilities. NISH collaborates with more than 600 nonprofit agencies to employ and train these individuals.

Historical Background

The program originated from the Wagner-O'Day Act of 1938, which created job opportunities for the blind by allowing them to manufacture products for the federal government. In 1971, Congress expanded the act to include people with severe disabilities and allow agencies to provide both products and services.

Current Challenges

A Harris Interactive survey reveals that two out of three unemployed individuals with disabilities wish to work, but they are hindered by a lack of opportunities and accessibility issues.

By fostering mentorship and expanding opportunities, the "Excellence" Program aims to transform employment prospects for people with disabilities.
