Organizations making employment accessible for PwDs

Employment for PwDs

People with disability have the right to be financially independent. There are millions of examples in history where people with disabilities have performed exceptionally well and similar examples can be found here in the present time. Having this in mind, it is very important that PwDs find the right places to work in. This will not only help them grow and achieve their goals, but also create an inclusive society. To help them achieve this, we have compiled this list of organizations that are making employment accessible for people with disabilities (PwDs).
