International Day of Persons with Disabilities Virtual Celebration

Mission Statement:Disability:IN Minnesota is an employer-led endeavor that promotes best practices that enhance employment and career opportunities for skilled individuals who have a disability.History of Disability:IN Minnesota:Disability:IN Minnesota is a state chapter of the United States Disability:IN. Disability:IN Minnesota offers participating employers resources for recruiting candidates with disabilities, information on disability issues/topics, recognition for best disability employment practices, and exposure to an untapped market for goods and services.Disability:IN began with a small group of employers who were concerned that more than 70% of working-age people with disabilities were unemployed. This model purports a primary business principle-success breeds success. When an employer talks about the benefits of hiring candidates with disabilities, other employers are eager to do the same.Disability:IN Minnesota began in August, 2000, when Northwest Airlines hosted an executive breakfast to launch Disability:IN Minnesota. Northwest Airlines serves as the lead employer of Disability:IN Minnesota. The founding members of Disability:IN Minnesota steering committee include: 3M, American Express Financial Advisors, Deluxe, Medtronic, West Group, The Disability Institute, Millennium Technical Institute, and the Minnesota Dept. of Economic Security.In 2003, Disability:IN Minnesota established itself as a non-profit, 501c3 organization.Disability:IN employers are recognized both locally and nationally for upholding policies and practices that remove barriers for individuals with disabilities related to various aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, job accommodations, benefits, training and advancement.
