A colleague sent me an e-mail pointing to AccessibleEmployment, a new website intended to match job seekers with disabilities and employers looking to hire people with disabilities. I haven’t signed up for an account yet so I can’t comment on the number of employers or the kinds of jobs available. The front page design is slick but generic in a corporate kind of way. And some of wording is kind of odd, like “Disabled Talent”. It makes it sound like they’re holding auditions for a Hallmark Channel movie of the week. The site also claims that employees with disabilities will “earn tax advantages” and “lower health care costs” for companies. Wow, way to sell it. Why not just say that we’ll work for free?
I shouldn’t review stuff like this on a Friday night when I’m kind of tired and grumpy.
