2023: A Year in Review
January 9, 2024
Disability:IN Minnesota network,
As we close out 2022, I am filled with gratitude and amazement while reflecting on all we have accomplished together. Our work in sharing best employment practices for hiring and retaining employees with disabilities and enhancing opportunities for skilled candidates with disabilities is critical.
Central to what we do, is how we do it, by partnering closely with our 40+ members. We saw 25% of our members received a 90% or higher rating in the Disability Equality Index. We also connected the disability community to jobs through Jobs Ability which saw 95+ employers, over 79,000 job postings and over 2,850+ potential candidate profiles.
Acknowledging all that we have done together, Disability:IN Minnesota was named the 2022 Affiliate of the Year at the Disability:IN Global Conference.
Minnesota continues to fare better than the nation in terms of employment among people with disabilities1 but the percentage remains low, driving us forward to 2023. Guided by the Board’s 3-year work plan, our hope is to reach further across Minnesota to showcase the benefits of a more diverse workforce.
On behalf of the Disability:IN Minnesota Board of Directors, thank you for being a part of our network. We look forward to ongoing partnerships and increasing opportunities for people with disabilities.
With gratitude,
Jamie Rudolph
