The Heldrich Center is pleased to share a recently released white paper from Kessler Foundation that explores the successes and challenges faced by 21 national programs that used grant funding from Kessler to offer training, career development, and job opportunities for people with disabilities. The paper provides a roadmap for professionals in grantmaking, workforce development, disability employment, and human resources who are seeking to offer employment initiatives for people with disabilities.

The paper was written by Heldrich Center staff Renée Edwards, Ph.D., Assistant Director; Domonique Noel, Research Project Assistant; and Marjory Palius, Ed.D., former Research Project Manager.
