Texas Workforce Commission partners with the Texas Governor’s Committee on People With Disabilities and Texas Workforce Solutions on Texas HireAbility to raise awareness about the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and highlight their contributions in the workplace.
The We Hire Ability program recognizes Texas employers for their commitment to hiring people with disabilities, and for their efforts to create an inclusive workforce. Employers with at least 10 percent of their Texas-based workforce comprising people with disabilities, are eligible to receive a We Hire Ability decal to display on their storefront and a digital decal to display on their website.
These TWC and partner resources can help support your organization’s disability inclusion activities and keep you informed of the latest updates and tools.
The Texas Workforce Solutions Vocational Rehabilitation Business Team partners with employers to understand their hiring needs and provides customizable services to help with recruiting, hiring, retaining and accommodating employees with disabilities through the following no cost services.
