Join a BLN |
|
| The Business
Leadership Network (BLN) was initiated through assistance from the
President's Committee for Employment of People with Disablities. This
program offers employers access to a pool of applicants with disabilities,
pertinent disability employment information, a network of companies
sharing information on specific disability employment issues, the
opportunity to provide training and work experience for job seekers with
disabilities, recognition for best disability employment practices, and
access to a largely untapped market for goods and services. There are
currently several states with a Business
Leadership Network (BLN); become active in the BLN in your state.
For more information on the Business Leadership Network, contact Carol
Dunlap. For Example: The Colorado Business Leadership Network (CBLN) is a partnership sponsored by the Presidents Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, The Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and Synergy Human Resource Development Associates, Inc. The CBLN provides education, support services, and a peer network to serve businesses and help with all the resources needed to recruit, hire, train and support both new and current employees with disabilities. The CBLN operates a variety of services, programs and activities to assist businesses in attracting new employees and customers with disabilities such as: Education: CBLN provides diversity resources,
customer service and recruiter training programs; membership meetings,
seminars, and special events.
