Partnership for Public Service Recruits Workers with Disabilities

The Partnership for Public Services posts the following on their website: “Building, energizing and maintaining a high-quality workforce is the key to success for any organization — and the federal government is no different.”

The Partnership for Public Service is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that seems to do a lot of the work that recruiters are familiar with, like trying to get the best staff possible at all times.

This organization has a new mission in its recruiting.  To comply with a push for increasing federal hiring of people with disabilities, Partnership for Public Service will work on recruiting more excellent workers who are confronted by some kind of disability.

By offering federal agencies and related employer/employee organizations technical assistance and research-based model programs, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy and the PPS jointly will promote effective disability employment strategies, policies and practices government-wide.

If you were asked by a company to try to recruit workers with disabilities, do you have strategies that you can share with other recruiters?  Is this demand to more inclusive hiring practices something that you can help enact?
