The Florida Unique Abilities Partner Program recognizes businesses and organizations that are committed to providing employment, career, and financial opportunities to individuals with unique abilities. Businesses, including private sector partners and community organizations that participate have a demonstrated track record of strengthening communities and the economy through an intentional focus on connecting with the talent pipeline that is individuals with disabilities.
This focus has spurred opportunities and results for Floridians with unique abilities to achieve their goals and drive greater independence, community engagement, and much more! In return, entities participating in the program are met with enriched workplace cultures, operational efficiencies, and a strengthening of their overall bottom line.
The Florida Unique Abilities Partner Program is designed with you in mind and is continuously reevaluating and evolving to meet the needs of job seekers and job creators. What remains constant are the outcomes we will drive together in the following areas:
- Fostering Independence: The program strengthens Florida’s economy and workforce by elevating and equipping Floridians with unique abilities who want to work with more opportunities to do so.
- Reducing Unemployment: The Florida Unique Abilities Partner Program is designed to help reduce unemployment among those who are willing, ready, and able to contribute to Florida’s thriving workforce by raising awareness about the benefits of a job, equipping job seekers with the tools they need to be successful, and providing continued support for goal advancement.
- Connecting Businesses: Participation in the Florida Unique Abilities Partner Program opens the door for businesses to network and partner with fellow designees, fostering new business opportunities and much more coming soon!
