Working Together is a campaign to create inclusive employment opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) by providing employers access a new pool of potential employees. In the end, the campaign will provide businesses and employers “how to” strategies for recruiting, hiring and retaining this population in an inclusive setting. Competitive, integrated employment is the number one goal for people with disabilities on an individual, state and national level. In fact, Governor John Bel Edwards created SAME “State as a Model Employer” to challenge State government agencies to employ individuals with disabilities and the state has adopted Employment First as a goal. This goal focuses on helping and encouraging all working age adults – including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities - to find and sustain employment in real-world jobs with competitive compensation who are fully integrated into the workplace as the best solution for their continued well-being. These efforts are part of a larger national Employment First movement that acknowledges employment as the primary and best outcome for all people of working age regardless of disabilities and works to advance employment of people with disabilities through policy, legislation, advocacy and systems change.
