Inspired to get hired- for employees
Stereotypes and financial incentives are only part of the reason for low employment rates among people with disabilities. There are at least two other barriers that exist; lack of motivation and lack of marketable skills. The first one is financial benefit programs that people hide behind. However, there are guidelines and incentive which encourage the person to work as well as maintain health and financial benefits. Depending on the disability the person can work outside the home. Jobs usually require transportation but adaptive cars do exist and a state agency (The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation) defrays the cost of the adaptations and driving lessons. Many people with challenges do not wish to make the extra effort to work if they do not have to. The second one the person's skills. Usually can't just work in basic jobs like fast food and grocery stores.
They must enroll in secondary schools to receive college degrees. The other skills may be a lack of social experiences resulting in poor social ones. Parents do not want their child to be hurt so this results in limited friendships, inability to fit in in a work environment, or criticism. or
