Plan to Advance Career Success for People With Disabilities

About the Plan to Advance Career Success for People with Disabilities

The Plan to Advance Career Success for People with Disabilities includes an investment by the City of $8.8 million over the next three years to transform the City’s approach to helping New Yorkers with disabilities prepare for and connect to jobs and careers. This plan consists of a two-prong strategy:  1) launching the Center for Workplace Accessibility and Inclusion, a City team that will address structural challenges that create obstacles for people with disabilities to pursue a career; and 2) increasing the City’s investment in direct employment services for people with disabilities in innovative ways.  This plan will help 2,500 New Yorkers with disabilities find career-track employment over the next three years.
