Why Section 503 is Important for Individuals With Disabilities
To meet the new regulations, federal contractors are looking for qualified people with disabilities to fill jobs.
- This is great news for individuals with disabilities – it is estimated that this could create as many as 600,000 new employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Federal contractors will also be inviting job applicants, as well as their current employees, to voluntarily disclose, or what we call self-identify, that they are individuals with a disability.
