Nonprofit Organization Management - San Leandro, California, United States
HireAble offers employers a pool of dedicated and qualified candidates to meet your needs. Our candidates are hard-working professionals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who aspire to have a job and become a valuable member of your team. We have hundreds of years of experience connecting employers to this underutilized workforce and providing the necessary supports and training to meet the business needs of employers.In California, a staggering 85% to 92% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities of working age are unemployed. This chronic unemployment has a significant effect on the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and our society as a whole. Without jobs, these individuals live in crushing poverty, their families struggle to help with financial resources, and our society falls short when it comes to providing employment opportunities for this population.Funded by the Thomas J. Long Foundation, HireAble was formed to demonstrate how to move employment forward and break the cycle of poverty and unemployment for people with disabilities. HireAble is a collaboration between three non-profit human service agencies, Contra Costa ARC, Futures Explored and East Bay Innovations.
