The National Council on Disability reports that people with disabilities live in poverty at more than twice the rate of people without disabilities, in part due to low rates of workforce participation.Â
Out of the 50 million working-age Americans who are disabled, only 29% participate in the workforce compared to the 75% without a disability.
Inclusively’s accessible employment platform and job matching technology go beyond traditional job search criteria and allow job seekers to connect with opportunities that match their experience, skills, and accommodation needs. In addition to Inclusively’s comprehensive employment platform, the company also offers services and resources to assist employers with meeting their disability inclusion goals.
Acumen invested because Inclusively is aiming to increase the workforce participation rate of Amercians who are disabled, a persistently underserved population. Inclusively’s products and services are scalable tools for disability recruitment, which has too long been dogged by siloed approaches. This investment matters because Inclusively helps job candidates with disabilities connect with employment opportunities that match their experiences, skills, and needed workplace accommodations. Given the relatively low rates of workforce participation and high rates of poverty among individuals with disabilities, Inclusively’s support of this group of job seekers is a step toward advancing economic equality for people with disabilities.
