Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Employer Practices
Related to the Employment Outcomes Among Individuals with Disabilities
The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Employer Practices Related to the Employment Outcomes Among Individuals with Disabilities is funded to Cornell University by the U.S. Department for Education National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). This Center is under the leadership of the Employment and Disability Institute, and is a collaboration between multiple departments at Cornell University, including the Employment and Disability Institute (EDI), Institute for Compensation Studies, and the Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies, along with The Conference Board (TCB), the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC), and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Through research, outreach activities and targeted interventions, the Center expands the availability and accessibility of useful information on how employer practices are related to employer success in hiring, retaining, and advancing people with disabilities.
Build best practices by learning what workers with disabilities shared about disclosure pros and cons. Results of a survey by the Cornell University ILR School and the American Association of People with Disabilities will be discussed by the researchers.
