Creates Pathways

One of Ablr’s primary goals is to help people with disabilities acquire the skills they need to join – or advance in – the workforce, and to help organizations recruit diverse talent. To this end, we created A3C, or the Ablr Accessibility Analyst Course. Lesson by lesson, our course teaches you the concepts, strategies, and techniques of digital accessibility testing, and provides you with the foundation for a career in the field.

Change Your Perspective: Put Untapped Talent to Work

Numerous studies and research have shown that businesses that recruit diverse talent and prioritize equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities often experience financial advantages. Here are a few key findings:

  • Increased innovation: A workforce that includes individuals with disabilities brings a wider range of perspectives, ideas, and problem-solving approaches. This diversity of thought can foster innovation and creativity within organizations, leading to the development of unique products, services, and solutions.
  • Expanded customer base: Hiring individuals with disabilities can help organizations tap into a significant market segment—people with disabilities and their families. These individuals often have unique needs and preferences that can be better understood and catered to by having a workforce that includes professionals with disabilities.
  • Improved employee morale and retention: Embracing inclusivity and providing equal opportunities to individuals with disabilities can have a positive impact on employee morale. When employees see that their organization values equality and supports inclusivity, they are more likely to feel satisfied and engaged. This, in turn, can lead to higher retention rates and reduced recruitment costs.
  • Enhanced reputation and brand image: Organizations that prioritize inclusivity and disability-friendly practices tend to have a positive brand image. Customers, clients, and partners often view such organizations favorably, which can lead to increased brand loyalty and attract new stakeholders who support equal opportunities.
  • Access to untapped talent pool: By actively recruiting professionals with disabilities, organizations gain access to a pool of talented individuals who may have unique skills, experiences, and perspectives. Hiring from this talent pool can provide organizations with a competitive edge and access to valuable expertise that may not be readily available in more traditional recruitment channels.

Investing in professionals with disabilities can bring numerous benefits to organizations, including increased innovation, an expanded customer base, improved employee morale and retention, enhanced reputation and brand image, and access to a diverse talent pool.
