EARN offers information and resources to empower individuals and organizations to become leaders in the employment and advancement of people with disabilities.
EARN assists employers through online support and a range of education and outreach activities. Each year, we attract more than 93,000 unique visitors to our website, which offers employer-focused resources on a range of disability inclusion topics including sourcing and hiring individuals with disabilities, disability etiquette, reasonable accommodations and encouraging self-identification. We also frequently host webinars for employers on topics related to building workforces that are inclusive of people with disabilities. Our webinars typically draw between 200 and 500 viewers each. In addition, more than 12,000 subscribers receive our monthly e-newsletter, which highlights national and regional news, hot topics and employer success stories in the world of workplace disability inclusion. You can also follow EARN on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, for the latest on disability inclusion trends and resources.
EARN also offers free webinars and training videos through the Dinah Cohen Training Center for Disability Employment & Inclusion, a one-stop resource for comprehensive, curated multimedia training on workplace disability inclusion. The Training Center includes webinars and videos on EARN’s award-winning Inclusion@Work Framework for Building a Disability-Inclusive Organization, which outlines seven core components of a disability-inclusive workplace, along with a menu of strategies for achieving them.
