What are the NTAR Leadership Center’s current program priorities?

Within its five targeted goal areas, the NTAR Leadership Center’s work emphasizes two distinct program areas in addition to its ongoing communication/dissemination and project management activities. The two current areas of focus are:

1. Disability implications of an aging workforce
Developing an action plan to increase job opportunities for older workers with disabilities by documenting promising employer practices, identifying federal policies that promote or discourage more work options for mature workers, and recommending areas for additional research.

2. Universal design and access for people with disabilities in the public workforce system
Providing intensive technical assistance to four states that will redesign their existing employment services and facilities to address the diverse needs of all business customers and job seekers, not just individuals with disabilities.
