Hire Individuals with Disabilities in Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation

 

Belonging By Design

Hiring individuals with developmental and significant physical disabilities is a strategic move toward a brighter, all-embracing future — and it makes business sense.

  • Gain motivated employees for harder-to-fill jobs
  • Retain dependable, loyal workers
  • Grow collaborative, empathic teams
  • Welcome creative perspectives
  • Take advantage of tax credits and other incentives
  • Foster community goodwill
  • Know you are making a difference
