Disability Employment Research for All
The Rutgers Employer Disability Practices Center conducts research to examine the efficacy and scalability of employer practices to create positive employment outcomes for workers with disabilities. A multi-disciplinary team of researchers across multiple universities and the National Organization on Disability will conduct rigorous studies across five focused projects.
The findings will provide diverse individuals with disabilities and their employers access to practical, timely, and effective knowledge to explore alternative paths to employment and career advancement. The knowledge generated from this research will be useful to employers, policy makers, employment service providers, researchers, and those entering the labor market.
