Did you know that the employment rate for individuals with disabilities is 44.6% lower than their nondisabled peers? In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month during October, we are highlighting one way we are bringing justice to the lack of employment for people with disabilities.

Linkages was founded in 1997 and was a non-profit until 3 years ago when it became a program at Direct Advocacy & Resource Center (Direct). Direct was excited to have Linkages as a program focused on advocating the benefits of hiring people with disabilities to employers because advocacy work is at the heart of Direct’s mission.

DIRECT Center for Independence (DIRECT) and Linkages announce that they have joined forces to further grow their programs. The two nonprofit organizations worked collaboratively over the years and recently decided to consolidate administrative resources to help increase community impact.
