One of the primary challenges for employers in the next decade as they seek to remain competitive in the marketplace will be finding qualified workers. This will force employers to seek more diversity in their employee base. Qualified persons with disabilities, who are seeking to become and remain a valuable part of the workforce, provide an excellent pool of applicants to meet this employment needs.
